# Post by Avantika Chauhan (@avantikachauhan)

AI costs can quickly grow through model selection, token usage, GPU utilization, retrieval overhead, and uncontrolled workloads. This article explores practical AI infrastructure cost optimization strategies, including model routing, semantic caching, quantization, batching, and autoscaling. Check out the full guide to understand where AI infrastructure spend comes from and how engineering teams can control it.
