CloudZero is enabling organizations to gain
unparalleled visibility into their AI spending, a critical need as AI adoption
continues to expand. In the early stages of experimentation, businesses may
write off AI costs as research and development, but as these initiatives
mature, the costs tied to successful AI-driven products will significantly
impact companies' cost of goods sold (COGS) and gross margins. As pressure rises
for companies to justify AI-related spending, robust cloud cost visibility will
be essential for informed decision-making.
CloudZero helps
customers maximize the profitability of their AI investments by providing the
visibility required to track, optimize, and control expenses related to AI. By
connecting AI spending to business outcomes, organizations can measure their
return on investment (ROI), scale operations efficiently, and maintain
financial accountability throughout the entire AI development cycle. With clear
insights into costs and returns, businesses can make informed decisions that
drive efficiency and ensure their AI initiatives successfully reach the market
with a sustainable, long-term impact.
How CloudZero Delivers AI Cost
Visibility
Understand AI Cost And Usage: CloudZero provides organizations with
precise visibility into their generative AI costs. It supports data ingestion
from all major cloud providers, including AWS, GCP, and Azure - as well as
leading AI services like OpenAI, CoreWeave, and Anthropic. Additionally,
CloudZero offers advanced features for tracking AWS AI spending, specifically
for Bedrock and SageMaker.
Granular Cost Allocation: AI projects often involve multiple
teams and services, complicating cost allocation. CloudZero's cost allocation
engine addresses this by attributing AI spending to specific teams, services,
and workflows. This level of granularity helps organizations pinpoint where
resources are being consumed and ensure accurate cost tracking.
Business Impact Analysis: CloudZero links spending to business
outcomes through unit economics, enabling organizations to calculate the ROI of
every dollar spent on AI. By capturing key unit metrics - such as cost per
prompt, inference, or token - teams are empowered to identify inefficiencies,
optimize cloud spending, and align costs with strategic goals.
Driving Financial Sustainability In AI
"The dirty
little secret about AI is that while its potential returns are vast, without
the right management, many investments turn into expensive mistakes rather than
profitable innovations," said Phil Pergola, CEO of CloudZero. "The
CloudZero platform delivers the visibility and insights needed for companies to
get the most out of their AI investments and to ensure a positive ROI. This is
essential to unlocking its full potential."
By offering a
clear view of AI-related expenses, CloudZero helps companies move beyond
experimentation to sustainable growth. The platform empowers businesses
to:
- Quantify the
ROI of AI projects
- Reduce
inefficiencies and optimize spending
- Innovate faster
without compromising financial health
Optimize To Innovate
"CloudZero has
been a game changer for us in managing the rapidly growing costs of our AI
initiatives," said Pete Rubio, senior vice president of platform and
engineering at Rapid7. "By providing deep visibility into our cloud spending
and helping us optimize costs at a granular level, we can focus on scaling our
AI solutions without worrying about runaway expenses. It's not just about
saving money - it's about enabling innovation while maintaining financial
accountability and control."
CloudZero's AI
cost visibility capabilities establish a best practice framework for managing
AI expenses. By helping companies refine their cost strategies, CloudZero
ensures that AI-driven innovations remain both impactful and sustainable.
"Building
scalable and cost-effective AI solutions is a top priority," said Philip Tsai,
vice president of engineering at Helm.ai. "CloudZero has given us the
visibility we need to understand our cloud spend, allowing us to make
data-driven decisions about where to optimize and scale. For a lean,
fast-growing team with a dynamic compute profile in the machine learning space,
CloudZero not only allows us to analyze and track costs efficiently but also
ensures that our innovations remain sustainable as we grow."
