Smarter AI Spend Starts With Knowing What You Pay For

Most AI cost problems look like this: The API bill blows through the monthly budget in the first week. Your Claude or ChatGPT plan hits its usage cap by Wednesday. A task that ran fine last month now takes three tries and twice the tokens. But spending more isn’t the only fix.

Join Bay State IT for coffee, bagels, and an informative talk on the real economics of AI. We will walk through the cost-of-intelligence benchmarks that now exist, compare the major models on what they deliver per dollar, and show why more context is not always better, why a large model with medium reasoning often beats a small model at maximum reasoning, and where ultra-cheap models can fit into your workflow. You will leave with practical ways to get more out of the plan you already have.

This event will be beneficial to companies with enterprise Claude or ChatGPT seats or API usage as well as those who keeps running into their usage cap.
