The Agent Cost & Usage Blueprint ingests agent traces from tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, normalizes them, and surfaces spend breakdowns by model, person, and customer in your own warehouse. The Agent Distillation Blueprint, built in partnership with distil labs, takes those same traces and uses them to train smaller specialist models that can replace expensive frontier models at 50-90% lower inference cost. Both Blueprints are pre-configured end-to-end solutions starting at $1,190/month. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
