Unpredictable AI costs have become a growing concern for organizations running private LLM platforms. Usage-based pricing models can drive significant swings in monthly expenses as adoption increases. Budgeting becomes difficult when infrastructure spending rises with every new user interaction.

Budgeting becomes difficult when infrastructure spending rises with every new user interaction.

Mazda Marvasti, CEO of Amberd, says pricing volatility created challenges as his team expanded its private LLM deployment. Estimating end-of-month expenses proved difficult under variable billing structures. Marvasti sought an environment that offered both rapid GPU availability and fixed monthly pricing. He says partnering with QumulusAI delivered that stability. The fixed-cost model allows Amberd to provide customers with clear annual budget expectations while maintaining performance for LLM workloads.

What we needed to do is to get into an environment where we could get the GPUs that we needed fast enough, but on a fixed monthly cost so that we could provide that capability back to our customer. One of the other aspects of running, you know, kind of LLMs these days is the unpredictability in end of the month pricing. The more people use it from your organization, the more it's going to cost. Well, what is that cost going to be? Well, it's unpredictable. So getting to a predictable price point on a monthly basis, very, very important. What we needed to do is to get into an environment where we could get the GPUs that we needed fast enough, but on a fixed monthly cost so that we could provide that capability back to our customer. Because I am now able to have a fixed cost, I am now able to transfer that fixed cost capability to you and give you a quick predictability on how much this thing is going to cost you for the year and how much you need to budget for it. When we got connected with Cumulus, that's exactly what we found.

ABC's Hensel Phelps Diverge partnership puts field tests ahead of vendor demos

ABC's Hensel Phelps Diverge partnership puts field tests ahead of vendor demos

Carolinas contractors need field-tested evidence on new tools now. ABC's Construction Backlog Indicator reached 8.7 months in September, yet more than a quarter of contractors expect thinner margins.

  • 01A contractor with 8.7 months of work booked has time to pilot new tools. A contractor expecting thinner margins has less room to pay for a tool that only worked in the demo.
  • 02Diverge tests construction tools in controlled pilots and on active jobsites, and ABC can pass along what holds up. Contractors still need to choose what to pilot and define the metric that will decide it.
  • 03In South Carolina, a 1099 specialist brought in to run a tech pilot faces two separate state classification tests. Passing one does not settle the other.

The ACI/TCA program separates examination knowledge from verified field experience. That distinction helps teams review qualifications more clearly.

  • 01Technician certification establishes the written-examination requirement.
  • 02Supervisor certification also requires verified construction, tilt-up and supervisory experience.
  • 03Match the exact credential and relevant work history to the responsibility being considered.

Veolia to treat a 3-million-person wastewater load at Arauco's Brazil pulp mill

Veolia to treat a 3-million-person wastewater load at Arauco's Brazil pulp mill

Veolia will design and implement the industrial effluent treatment plant for Arauco's US$4.6 billion Sucuriú pulp mill in Inocência, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The plant will be capable of treating 10,600 cubic meters of wastewater per hour. Veolia says the organic load is equivalent to that of a municipality of 3 million inhabitants. It will use its biofilm activated sludge process, which aims to maximize treatment capacity within a compact footprint, ahead of the mill's expected late 2027 start of operations.

  • 01The plant will treat 10,600 cubic meters an hour at a 3.5 million-tonnes-a-year mill, with wording that suggests a reference design for next-generation builds.
  • 02Veolia’s design targets a compact footprint and includes belt presses to dewater sludge, making sludge handling part of the treatment system.
