A model might seem cheap, but when we look at price per task, the picture changes. The cost changes depending on harnesses, reasoning effort and agentic loops’ configurations.
The AI can get really expensive even with cheap models.
That is why I made the Optimise Your AI Stack self-paced course.
And for the launch we have a 20% discount on yearly subscriptions!

The course has five modules with audio and slides that play automatically. You can:
simulate your numbers with interactive calculators
play educational games
download the slides in PDF
listen to it on mobile and watch the slides
There is no schedule and no pressure to finish everything in one day.
The course includes:
five modules with audio
eleven tools
practical challenges
games that help you test what you know
live calculators that you can use with your own numbers
The point of the course is to help you understand your AI Stack and make better decisions about cost, tools and models. Open weight models and agentic harnesses are having a moment now - I want my subscribers to start benifiting from them.
This narration text is not AI-generated: it’s a grammar-polished transcript of me teaching this course live on the 30th of June to a small group of participants.
The next live event like this will take place on the 27th of August,
and it won’t be the same course: it will cover up-to-date models for August, plus a session on agentic harnesses. AI Realist paid subscribers get a 20% discount.
The audio is a clone of my voice, generated by a Minimax model.
The ideas, explanations and course content are mine from a live session.
