SUMMARY:The Cost of Intelligence: A Breakfast Briefing on AI Spend
DESCRIPTION:A Breakfast Briefing on the Cost of AI\n\n​Most AI cost probl
 ems look like this: The API bill blows through the monthly budget in the 
 first week. Your Claude or ChatGPT plan hits its usage cap by Wednesday. 
 A task that ran fine last month now takes three tries and twice the token
 s. But spending more isn't the only fix.\n\n​Join Bay State IT for coffee
 \, bagels\, and an informative talk on the real economics of AI. We will 
 walk through the cost-of-intelligence benchmarks that now exist\, compare
  the major models on what they deliver per dollar\, and show why more con
 text is not always better\, why a large model with medium reasoning often
  beats a small model at maximum reasoning\, and where ultra-cheap models 
 can fit into your workflow. You will leave with practical ways to get mor
 e out of the plan you already have.\n\n​This talk is for anyone who pays 
 for AI. That includes companies with enterprise Claude or ChatGPT seats o
 r API usage to manage\, but it also includes anyone on a standard plan wh
 o keeps running into the usage cap. The same habits decide how far your b
 udget goes\, either way.\n\nAgenda:\n9:00 AM: Check-in\, breakfast\, and 
 networking\n\n​9:30 AM: Presentation: The Cost of Intelligence\n\n​10:15 
 AM: Q&A\n\n​10:30 AM: Open networking and coffee\n\n​Space is limited!
