Token optimization begins with choice

As you move AI from pilots into production, token usage becomes a real cost base—one that shapes budgets and regulatory exposure. Optimizing it is an architecture decision, not a billing exercise you hand to finance after launch. It spans four levers: cost, performance, sovereignty and privacy.

In this IDC Spotlight, sponsored by Equinix, learn why keeping infrastructure, model and application as independent, swappable layers is what makes real optimization possible—and how the Equinix Distributed AI™ Hub delivers that flexibility from a neutral point of interconnection.
