Buy tokens, rent GPUs, or own the rack?

Open-weight models are now good enough to make self-hosting a financial question rather than a capability one. I modelled four options, an office rack, colocation, rented GPUs and per-token APIs, to find where each one actually wins. The answer turns on utilisation, and it isn't the one the internet keeps giving.

Turn a $3m AI bill into $1.9m

Most teams overpay for AI twice without noticing: they run everything through the default flagship model, and they buy the tokens on a metered plan they can't see into. An intelligent proxy fixes both. Here is the maths, a calculator you can drag, and where Flowstate fits.

Agents & copilots

Resourcing → Agents & copilots is where AI sits in your workforce plan. Use it to keep track of the AI agents doing work for you, who owns each one, and which AI tools your people use.

Only shown when Agents & copilots is switched on for your organisation — ask your Flowstate contact.

Agents and copilots are different

  • An agent is an AI worker that runs on its own, such as a support bot or a release-notes drafter. It has an owner and its own cost, separate from any person.
  • A copilot is an AI tool a person uses, such as Claude Code, Cursor or GitHub Copilot. Its cost stays with the person who used it.
