The Cost Curve of Intelligence

What this session covers

• A real-world breakdown of what conversational and agentic deployment costs at 2027 model prices, including the line items that never appear on vendor proposals
• Model portfolio strategy: when to use frontier models, when smaller models win, and how the mature teams route between them
• Why headline savings in industry case studies usually reflect partial accounting, and what a full operating model looks like
• Constructing cost cases that survive scrutiny from finance and procurement
