As enterprises scale their AI operations from experimental “playgrounds” to full-scale agentic workflows, a new bottleneck has emerged: Token Controlling and API Key Chaos. With teams of 6–10 developers or automated agents hitting multiple providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) and local servers simultaneously, managing individual accounts is no longer viable. Enter the AI Gateway—the centralized “Token…
Back in 2024 I wrote a blog post: How Much Does It Cost to Operate AI ChatBots? As we move into the new era of the token economy, the conversations, about tokens costs and power are very much part of the story. A useful model must account for real model pricing, utilization, infrastructure, performance, and…
Starting with the May 2026 security update, any developer can register AI agents via Windows.UI.Shell.Tasks API to appear alongside Copilot. Users invoke with “@” in search, monitor chain-of-thought via hover. This positions Windows as the OS for agents, not just AI features. In a move bigger than another Copilot tweak, Microsoft is turning Windows 11…
Over the past 18 months, I’ve used many of the AI models, closed and open source and different versions — both locally and in the cloud.
