"LLM Cost Estimation: Simplify Your Budgeting"
LLM Cost Calculation FrameworkLarge Language Models (LLMs) are powerful tools for generating human-like text, answering queries, and performing other complex tasks. However, understanding and managing their costs for inference, training, and fine-tuning is critical for project optimization. This framework will help you estimate the cost of inference and training by analyzing token consumption and model usage patterns. Cost of InferenceInference cost depends on the number of tokens processed during input and output, as well as the underlying LLM's pricing model. Most providers, like OpenAI, charge based on tokens. Here’s how you can estimate inference costs:
Cost of TrainingTraining costs are significantly higher than inference as they involve multiple passes over large datasets. The cost can be calculated by considering the number of training tokens, model size, and compute infrastructure. Here is a simplified breakdown:
Cost of Fine-TuningFine-tuning involves adapting a pre-trained model to a specific task using a smaller dataset. The cost of fine-tuning depends on the dataset size, number of epochs, and compute resources required:

These solutions span finance, healthcare, real estate, e-commerce, and more. Click on to see in-depth look at these use cases - Stocks Earning Call Analysis, Ecommerce Analysis with GenAI, Financial Planner AI Assistant, Kreatebots, Kreate Websites, Kreate CMS, Travel Agent Website, Real Estate Agent etc. Analyze reports, dashboard and determine To-doDataKnobs has built an AI Agent for structured data analysis that extracts meaningful insights from diverse datasets such as e-commerce metrics, sales/revenue reports, and sports scorecards. The agent ingests structured data from sources like CSV files, SQL databases, and APIs, automatically detecting schemas and relationships while standardizing formats. Using statistical analysis, anomaly detection, and AI-driven forecasting, it identifies trends, correlations, and outliers, providing insights such as sales fluctuations, revenue leaks, and performance metrics. Agent AI TutorialHere are slides and AI Agent Tutorial. Agentic AI refers to AI systems that can autonomously perceive, reason, and take actions to achieve specific goals without constant human intervention. These AI agents use techniques like reinforcement learning, planning, and memory to adapt and make decisions in dynamic environments. They are commonly used in automation, robotics, virtual assistants, and decision-making systems. How Dataknobs help in building data productsBuilding data products using Generative AI (GenAI) and Agentic AI enhances automation, intelligence, and adaptability in data-driven applications. GenAI can generate structured and unstructured data, automate content creation, enrich datasets, and synthesize insights from large volumes of information. This helps in scenarios such as automated report generation, anomaly detection, and predictive modeling. Create New knowledge with Prompt libraryAt its core, KreateHub is designed to enable creation of new data and the generation of insights from existing datasets. It acts as a bridge between raw data and meaningful outcomes, providing the tools necessary for organizations to experiment, analyze, and optimize their data processes. CIO Guide to create GenAI Budget for 2025CIOs and CTOs can apply GenAI in IT Systems. The guide here describe scenarios and solutions for IT system, tech stack, GenAI cost and how to allocate budget. Once CIO and CTO can apply this to IT system, it can be extended for business use cases across company.
