A reposted discussion says a real agentic AI setup was costing about $1.2 million a month when every action was delegated to agents. After changing the system, the bill reportedly dropped to around $100,000 a month.
The quoted original adds that the fix involved open-source models, framing the story as a cautionary example of how agentic workflows can become prohibitively expensive unless the stack is carefully redesigned.
