Ep 813: AI Cost Control 101: Why Your Chatbot Bill Is Becoming a Board-Level Problem (Start Here Series Vol 31) Jul 07, 2026

Show notes

AI’s all-you-can-eat era is ending. 🍲
For years, one subscription felt like unlimited access to frontier models.
But that business model for the AI labs apparently breaks when agents can now run for days, use tools, retry work and burn through tokens.
And with Anthropic's powerful Fable 5 model exiting subscription tiers today and moving to API only pricing, it's as imperative of a time as ever to figure out your AI spend strategy.
Frontier AI is becoming a metered utility. On today's show, we teach you how to deal with it.
