This initiative, backed by 30 founding members including major tech and finance companies, seeks to standardize the measurement of AI costs and return on investment. The foundation's roadmap includes defining token costs, establishing a reference model for AI expenses beyond tokens, and standardizing cost-per-call metrics, drawing parallels with the FinOps Foundation's approach to cloud spending.
