Cost & Capacity Planning
How should teams split cost visibility between execution and model layers?
Teams should split cost visibility between execution and model layers by tagging their respective usage separately to gain clear, actionable cost tracking. Execution layer costs tie directly to agent workflow runtime, retries, and concurrency, while model layer costs align directly to inference requests triggered by agents. It is important to keep in mind that containment of these agent workflows does not prevent all cross-workload resource leakage.
