Every AI workflow is also a cost decision. And token visibility is only the starting point for AI cost governance. To build real discipline, teams need to think upstream about context, workload design, and whether a token needs to be spent in the first place. Get the full breakdown: https://splk.it/4hK2j99

Some names deserve to be on the shortlist.

Every technology leader I've talked to this week at Ai4 - Artificial Intelligence Conferences can quote their AI budget. Almost none can name who owns it. That missing name is expensive. A token spike lands, finance wants an explanation, and the answer arrives from vendor dashboards that disagree with each other. So the overage gets covered by raiding another team's roadmap. Two Cisco VPs just published how they closed that gap in production with Splunk Agent Observability, across more than 2,000 live agents and 24,000 users, with spend attributed to named budget owners. Learn how Cisco aligned cost with real value from #AI 👉 The write-up: https://lnkd.in/gHX7Su2Y

OpenTelemetry at scale gets complicated fast. The new Fleet Management UI in Splunk Observability Cloud gives teams one place to monitor agents and collectors, check health and configurations, and diagnose telemetry collection issues faster. Built to help observability teams spend less time chasing context and more time keeping telemetry flowing, say hello to visibility that matters: https://splk.it/3RWV0jA #SplunkO11y
