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.

My AI

My AI shows your own AI use: what you spent, your sessions, how well you work with AI and the tools you use. It shows only your activity.

You need Agents & copilots switched on for your organisation — ask your Flowstate contact.

Open My AI

  1. In the sidebar, select My AI agents. The page opens on Overview.
  2. Choose a tab:
TabUse it to
OverviewSee your last 30 days at a glance
My sessionsGive your sessions the right project
Copilots I useCheck which AI tools Flowstate has seen you use
Request centreAsk for a seat on an AI tool

Read your Overview

Everything on the Overview covers the last 30 days.

  1. Read the opening sentence: what you spent on AI, across how many sessions, and how well you work with AI.

  2. Check the figures under it:

    FigureWhat it shows
    SessionsHow many AI sessions you had
    TokensHow many tokens those sessions used
    Est. costWhat those sessions are estimated to have cost
    FluencyYour overall rating for how well you work with AI, with a score out of 100 once your habits are scored

  3. Under What I use AI for, see what kind of work your AI spend went on.

  4. Under How well do I work with AI?, see your score for each of four habits, and a Tip for the weakest one.

  5. Under Recent prompt feedback, read what’s working and what to change. Select a line to open My sessions.

  6. Under Recent AI sessions, select a session to open it. Sessions marked Needs a project are waiting for you on My sessions.

HabitWhat it means
Clear promptsYou spell out the goal, format and audience up front
Right task to AIYou hand over whole, well-scoped tasks rather than nudging line by line
Checks the outputYou ask the model to show its working before you accept an answer
Verifies before shippingYou test or check the claims that matter before you ship

Recent prompt feedback shows up to two lines:

  • Good: the prompting pattern you use best.
  • Could improve: the habit that most often gets in your way, such as retrying a prompt instead of refining it.

What’s inside a session, and how to change its project: Review AI sessions.

See your pull requests and the AI behind them

My code with AI appears on the Overview if all of these are true:

  • your Flowstate account is linked to your employee record
  • your role lets you see effort reporting
  • your job role is in an engineering job family, or you’ve authored a pull request in the last 30 days
  1. Read the summary: how many pull requests you authored in the last 30 days, and how many AI sessions are linked to them.
  2. Select Show details to list them. Each row shows the pull request’s number and title, its repository, the lines added and removed, how many AI sessions are linked, and their AI cost.
  3. Select a pull request to open it.

Select Hide details to close the list.

Request a copilot

Under Quick actions, select Request a copilot. The Request centre opens, where you ask your manager for a seat on an AI tool.

If My AI is empty

  • “This page isn’t available” — your Flowstate account’s email doesn’t match your employee or contractor record. Ask your Flowstate admin to correct it.
  • No sessions, habits or feedback — sessions come from AI use captured on your computer. If your organisation only tracks AI bills, these stay empty.
