What is FinOps for LLM? +
FinOps for LLM brings the FinOps Foundation framework — visibility, attribution, optimization, and accountability — to LLM and GenAI spend. It includes per-feature and per-team chargeback, anomaly detection, budget governance, and continuous optimization of model routing, caching, and prompts.
What does FinOps LLM do? +
FinOps LLM is the platform purpose-built for LLM cost intelligence. We provide real-time spend attribution across OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, and Gemini, plus automated optimization (routing, caching, compression) and monthly reconciliation against provider invoices.
How is pricing structured? +
Two models. Performance — free audit, then 15–25% of verified monthly savings. Platform — flat tiers from $1,500/month for self-serve attribution and analytics. Most customers start on Performance.
How much can we save? +
Typical reduction in the first full billing cycle after implementation is 38–68%, depending on architecture and traffic mix.
Which providers are supported? +
OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini & Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Groq, Together, Mistral, Cohere, Fireworks, Replicate, and most OSS endpoints. Multi-provider deployments typically have the largest savings surface.
Does FinOps LLM support chargeback & showback? +
Yes. Token-level attribution to providers, models, features, teams, and customer cohorts. Monthly chargeback and showback exported to NetSuite, QuickBooks, CSV, or API. Custom dimensions supported.
How do you handle customer data? +
Read-only by default. Billing and usage data is enough for most attribution work. Prompt and output data is only accessed with explicit customer approval, for specific optimizations that require it. NDA and DPA available on request.
How long does implementation take? +
Attribution and dashboards go live in under a week. Optimization implementation takes 3–5 weeks; savings appear on the first full provider invoice after go-live.
Will optimization hurt output quality? +
No. Every routing, caching, and compression change is A/B tested against production for seven days minimum before promotion. Regressions auto-rollback. Quality is monitored continuously alongside cost.
