AI Tokenomics framework links computation, memory, pricing in foundation models
Researchers formalized AI tokenomics: how tokens (the unit of account for LLM services) encode information processing, computation, energy, and pricing. Directly applies to BFSI cost modeling for in-house vs. API-based LLM deployment decisions.
WHY IT MATTERS
Banks must model true cost-per-inference across regulatory overhead, latency SLAs, and data residency—this framework closes the gap between raw token math and operational TCO.
