For large-scale deployment, inference cost often accounts for the main part of TCO, so small differences in the cost line are significantly amplified at scale.
TCO (total cost of ownership) is a financial framework commonly used to evaluate IT infrastructure investments; it requires taking into account all direct and indirect expenses of an asset from procurement to retirement, including hardware amortization, power and cooling, and operations staffing.
Total cost of ownership (TCO) is the correct basis for evaluating automation investments, and it requires counting one-time investments together with ongoing costs.
