Episode Description
Running AI at scale is expensive, and consumption-based services can make budgets harder to predict. Steve Corey explains Microsoft’s MAI family of in-house models, the role of multi-model orchestration, and why routine work should not automatically be sent to the most expensive model. The episode reviews MAI models for reasoning, coding, image generation, voice, and transcription, then considers how efficient routing could affect Copilot credits, pay-as-you-go usage, custom agents, and AI return on investment.

Topics Covered
• The cost of operating AI at scale
• Copilot licensing and consumption-based pricing
• Copilot credits and variable AI costs
• Microsoft’s MAI model family
• Multi-model orchestration and automatic routing
• Reasoning, coding, image, voice, and transcription models
• Pay-as-you-go cost management
• Cost-conscious custom agent design
• Matching model capability to task complexity
• AI solution feasibility and return on investment
Key Takeaways
• Not every request requires a frontier model.
• Efficient routing can reserve expensive models for genuinely complex work.
• Model choice directly affects the consumption profile of AI solutions.
• Custom agents can use different models for routine and critical steps.
• Organizations should continually reassess which models their workloads use.
• Lower-cost models may make usage more manageable, but consumption remains variable.
