Key facts
- At roughly $200 of token usage per employee per week, that's about $10,000 a year per person
- With 90,000 employees, a company is looking at $900 million annually
- If Devin delivers less engineering value than a customer is paying for, Cognition will fund usage up to $10 million until it's up to par
- Glean CEO Arvind Jain has estimated that roughly 95% of enterprise AI usage is still running on the most expensive frontier models, even for tasks that cheaper alternatives could easily handle
Summary
A new spending discipline is taking hold inside corporate America, as chief financial officers and boards start cracking down on inefficient artificial intelligence spending. For the past two years, the playbook has been to default to the most powerful AI model and direct all queries through it, regardless of complexity. Routing is a tool that matches the job to the model, sending hard problems to the expensive frontier models and easy ones to cheaper, faster alternatives. Scott Wu, CEO of Cognition, which makes the coding agent Devin, said the gains on routine work are enormous. Most companies today aren't routing at all.
