Pegasystems: Calls for decision-tier governance to curb GenAI token costs for telecom operators
Pegasystems outlines that CSPs scaling GenAI will see rising inference spend as tokenized usage grows with agentic loops, retrieval, and context expansion, despite falling unit token prices. The analysis quantifies typical interaction costs (~$0.016 per 2,400 tokens; ~$160k per month for 10M interactions) and notes ~40% of tokens fund retrieval rather than business logic. It highlights latency and auditability pressures and recommends decision-tier routing and pre-invocation governance to choose rules, small models, or frontier LLMs based on complexity, risk, and value.
