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.

Connect Cursor

Connect Cursor to see who uses it, who doesn’t, and what it costs per person.

You need access to connect AI providers. Ask your Flowstate admin.

Before you start

  • Access to your Cursor team’s dashboard settings.

Connect Cursor

  1. In the Cursor dashboard, open Settings and generate a Cursor Admin API key.
  2. Copy it straight away. It starts with key_ and is only shown once.
  3. In Flowstate, go to Settings → Integrations, select Browse catalog and open Cursor (Pro / Business / Enterprise).
  4. Under How to connect, select Use this route.
  5. Paste the key and select Verify and connect.

Check it’s working

The key is listed under Connected keys with the status Working, and Data through shows a recent date. See the spend in Agent insights.

What Flowstate brings in

  • Usage for each team member, each day.
  • The amount charged for each team member, each day, in the currency Cursor bills you in.
  • Flowstate syncs every hour, and brings in your history when you first connect. The first import takes a little longer.

If something’s not right

The connection shows Key rejected. The key was revoked or replaced in Cursor. Create a new key and select Replace key on the connection. Your history stays.

Someone’s cost isn’t shown against them. Their Cursor email doesn’t match anyone in Flowstate. Add them or correct their email, or match them by hand under Settings → Integrations → User attribution.
