AI Anomaly Detection: Catch AI Cost Surprises Before They Kill Margins
Consider this: traditional cloud cost monitoring was like checking your fuel gauge once a month — after the trip was already over. That model worked when infrastructure scaled slowly. You provisioned resources predictably and paid for stable, linear usage. AI breaks that model. Today, AI costs behave like a high-performance engine with a hypersensitive throttle. A small input, like a prompt change or a single power user, can dramatically increase your fuel burn in seconds.
