Enterprise AI Architecture & CapEx / OpEx Modeling
Determine the exact cost-optimal AI architecture for your enterprise knowledge base. Balance vector database infrastructure, GPU training overhead, and inference token velocity.
Pinecone/Qdrant hosting ($1,440/yr) + embeddings + dynamic LLM generation.
LoRA training ($15,360/yr) + dedicated GPU endpoints ($15,000/yr).
Zero infrastructure, but massive raw token volume per request payload on 1M context models.
Our multi-dimensional TCO model aggregates fixed infrastructure (Pinecone/Qdrant vector clusters, A100 GPU hosting instances) and variable compute (embedding updates, re-training epochs, input/output token metering). Fine-tuning shines at high query volume (>250k queries/month) where fixed GPU costs amortize rapidly, while Vector RAG provides superior elasticity for rapidly updating corpora.
