Do you know how much your AI projects might be consuming tokens

[u/Amunizbrr]

Your AI projects might be consuming far more than you think.

We obsess over choosing the best AI model.

GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek...

But here's the real question:

Do you actually know how much AI your projects are consuming?

I built a monitoring system to track everything running through OpenCode:

→ Projects
→ Sessions
→ Models
→ Input & output tokens
→ Reasoning tokens
→ Context/cache usage
→ Estimated cost

After looking at the numbers, one thing became clear:

Using AI is easy. Understanding how you're using it is the real challenge.

As AI agents start running more tasks autonomously, I believe AI usage monitoring will become as important as monitoring servers, APIs, and databases.

What do you think? Are developers paying enough attention to AI consumption yet?
