AI & GPU Costs

Your AI bill has an SLA too. We recover it.

Token billing, shared GPUs, and inference that never sleeps have made AI the fastest-growing line on the cloud bill — and the least governed. Aura Plus brings the same detect-quantify-recover loop to your AI stack that it brings to AWS, Azure and GCP.

The 2026 shift

AI spend doesn't behave like cloud spend

Provisioned resources bill per hour. AI bills per token, per request, per GPU-second — fluctuating with prompt length, model choice and traffic. The tooling most teams bought for cloud cost simply wasn't built for it.

What we track that others miss

Three ways AI leaks money — and how Aura Plus closes each

Token billing

Per-model, per-team attribution

Spend across OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Azure OpenAI and Vertex mapped back to the product, team or customer that drove it — so the four-figure surprise on next month's bill is owned before the board sees it.

Shared GPUs

Real GPU-vs-CPU allocation

When training, inference and web workloads share the same account, invoices just say "compute." We separate GPU cost by workload so idle clusters and failed training runs stop hiding in the total.

AI SLAs

Recovery when AI services breach

Managed AI endpoints carry SLAs too. When latency or availability misses the contract, our agents detect it, price the credit, and file the claim — the recovery step no other FinOps platform performs.

The same closed loop, now on your AI stack

Every managed AI service with a contractual SLA is a candidate for recovery. Aura Plus watches them the way it watches your clouds.

  • Detect inference-latency and availability breaches in real time
  • Quantify the credit owed against your provider's AI SLA terms
  • Approve the claim in one click, with full audit trail
  • Recover — tracked until the credit posts to your bill
