Episode notes

Tech leaders are waking up to massive, unexpected AI bills. Why? The industry has fallen for the 'reasoning trap': paying models to rethink basic, repeatable tasks from scratch. Pegasystems CEO Alan Trefler joins David Savage to expose the "token-eating" agents causing boardroom budget shock. We unpack why standardising your AI "recipe" is the only way to scale without breaking the bank, and why token-maxxing is a flawed strategy.
