The article argues that Kubernetes GPU billing is often inaccurate because it relies on utilization metrics that don't reflect actual costs. It highlights that while GPU utilization indicates if hardware is busy, it doesn't correlate directly with the cost of running inference systems. The author suggests that cost per token is a more meaningful metric for evaluating the economic viability of inference workloads. AI
