Ask HN: For Enterprise coding agents, what's your company doing to control cost?

2•m0rde•39m ago

For those of you with enterprise pay-as-you-go plans, what's your company doing to keep costs from exploding? Do you have monthly limits? How do those limits spread across vendors? Does everyone have the same limit? What happens if you hit that limit halfway through the month?

My company is a medium size startup trying to support multiple vendors and harnesses. We're thinking of having tiers of limits (tech vs non tech) and allowing users to decide where they want to spend that.

Curious to hear what others are doing as prices and usage get higher and higher.

Looking to what's going on in our company I see that majority of employees doesn't understand efficient usage and how better to use models. Even programmers sometimes do crazy stupid things. I would think twice before allowing users to decide something that may directly influence spends

The hard part with agent skill is that "read this file and run these tools" basically makes your repo content part of what the agent has to trust. Static inspection is useful, but I wonder how much malicious behaviour can realistically be detected before runtime?
