As companies battle rising AI costs, EY says its invisible router reduced token use by 60%

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more expensive for businesses as companies increasingly pay per token rather than with flat-rate subscriptions. To manage those rising costs, one of the Big Four consulting firms, EY, has revealed that it has deployed an “invisible” AI router that automatically directs employee queries to the most appropriate AI model without changing the user experience.
​
Speaking to Business Insider, Dan Diasio, EY’s global consulting AI leader, said the system has reduced AI token consumption by 60% in some divisions since its global rollout in April.
