refactor(topics): 멀티 에이전트용 지식 재편 — _Common(공통 기본기) + Domain_* 구조
에이전트 8종(대화형/프로그래머 C·S/디자이너/설계자/기획자/QA/PD/PM)에게 [공통 기본 능력 + 롤별 Specialty] 2층으로 지식을 주입하기 위한 재분류. 문서 내용·포맷은 무수정, 폴더 이동만 (6,372개 문서 수 보존 확인). - Topic_Programming → Domain_Programming (내부 구조 보존) - Topic_Graphic → Domain_Design - Topic_Business → Domain_Product - Topic_General → Domain_General - _Common 신설: Math(구 Topic_Math_Specialty), Reasoning(구 General/From_Thinking & Reasoning), Reasoning_Creativity(구 General/From_창의성), Communication(Poetic_Blog_Writing + From_writing) - 타 도메인의 From_* 폴더는 유지 (출처 표기일 뿐, 이미 도메인에 맞게 분류된 문서) - 빈 폴더 정리 (memory/procedures) - 에이전트→폴더 매핑은 workspace의 .astra/agent-knowledge-map.json (9개 에이전트) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Cost-Benefit Analysis in AI
|
||||
|
||||
## 매 한 줄
|
||||
> **"매 model parameter 의 cost 의 value 의 정당화?"**. 매 GPU bill + 매 data + 매 MLOps 의 cost vs 매 revenue / time saved / risk reduce. 매 modern: LLM token economics, 매 build vs buy vs API, 매 sustainability.
|
||||
|
||||
## 매 핵심
|
||||
|
||||
### 매 cost component
|
||||
|
||||
#### Direct
|
||||
- **Compute**: GPU/TPU hour.
|
||||
- **Storage**: model weight + data + log.
|
||||
- **Inference**: 매 token / image cost.
|
||||
- **Training**: 매 fine-tune.
|
||||
- **Network**: 매 egress.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Indirect
|
||||
- **Data**: 매 collect, label, clean.
|
||||
- **MLOps**: 매 platform team.
|
||||
- **Engineering**: 매 develop, integrate.
|
||||
- **Maintenance**: 매 retrain, monitor.
|
||||
- **Compliance**: 매 audit, security.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Opportunity
|
||||
- **Slow latency**: 매 user lose.
|
||||
- **Failure modes**: 매 incident.
|
||||
- **Vendor lock-in**.
|
||||
|
||||
### 매 benefit component
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quantitative
|
||||
- **Revenue**: 매 conversion ↑.
|
||||
- **Cost saving**: 매 labor automate.
|
||||
- **Time**: 매 turnaround ↓.
|
||||
- **Quality**: 매 error ↓.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Qualitative
|
||||
- **UX improvement**.
|
||||
- **Brand / competitive moat**.
|
||||
- **Compliance protection**.
|
||||
- **Strategic optionality**.
|
||||
|
||||
### 매 LLM economics (modern)
|
||||
- **API**: 매 OpenAI / Anthropic — 매 per-token.
|
||||
- **Self-host**: 매 Llama / Mistral — 매 hardware + ops.
|
||||
- **Managed**: 매 Bedrock / Azure OpenAI — 매 enterprise contract.
|
||||
- **Hybrid**: 매 critical = self-host, 매 burst = API.
|
||||
|
||||
### 매 cost / 1M token (2026 typical)
|
||||
| Tier | Input $/1M | Output $/1M |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Frontier (GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet) | 3-5 | 15-20 |
|
||||
| Mid (Haiku, GPT-4o-mini) | 0.3-1 | 1-5 |
|
||||
| Open (Llama-3.3 70B via API) | 0.5-1 | 0.7-1 |
|
||||
| Self-host (estimated, amortized) | 0.05-0.5 | 0.1-1 |
|
||||
|
||||
→ 매 self-host 의 break-even = 매 use volume.
|
||||
|
||||
### 매 ROI calculation
|
||||
$$\text{ROI} = \frac{\text{Benefit} - \text{Cost}}{\text{Cost}}$$
|
||||
|
||||
매 simple 가, 매 multi-period DCF / NPV 가 더 정확.
|
||||
|
||||
### 매 build vs buy vs API
|
||||
| 옵션 | When |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| API | Low/medium volume + frontier capability |
|
||||
| Self-host | High volume + cost-sensitive + privacy |
|
||||
| Build (custom) | Differentiator + IP |
|
||||
| Buy (vendor) | Generic + fast |
|
||||
|
||||
### 매 cost optimization technique
|
||||
1. **Caching**: 매 same prompt → 매 cached.
|
||||
2. **Routing** (Mix-of-models): 매 simple → cheap, 매 complex → big.
|
||||
3. **Batching**: 매 throughput ↑.
|
||||
4. **Quantization**: 매 INT8 / INT4.
|
||||
5. **Distillation**: 매 small fine-tune.
|
||||
6. **Spot / preemptible**: 매 batch only.
|
||||
7. **Right-sizing**: 매 over-provision X.
|
||||
8. **RAG vs fine-tune**: 매 cheaper.
|
||||
9. **Token compression** (prompt engineering).
|
||||
|
||||
### 매 sustainability
|
||||
- 매 CO₂ per inference.
|
||||
- 매 ML CO2 calculator.
|
||||
- 매 green compute (Google, Microsoft).
|
||||
|
||||
## 💻 패턴
|
||||
|
||||
### TCO calculator
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def total_cost_of_ownership(
|
||||
monthly_inference_count: int,
|
||||
cost_per_inference: float,
|
||||
monthly_storage_gb: float,
|
||||
storage_cost_per_gb: float,
|
||||
monthly_engineering_hours: float,
|
||||
eng_hourly_rate: float,
|
||||
one_time_setup_cost: float,
|
||||
months: int = 12,
|
||||
):
|
||||
inference_cost = monthly_inference_count * cost_per_inference * months
|
||||
storage_cost = monthly_storage_gb * storage_cost_per_gb * months
|
||||
eng_cost = monthly_engineering_hours * eng_hourly_rate * months
|
||||
return one_time_setup_cost + inference_cost + storage_cost + eng_cost
|
||||
|
||||
tco = total_cost_of_ownership(
|
||||
monthly_inference_count=1_000_000,
|
||||
cost_per_inference=0.001, # $0.001 / inference
|
||||
monthly_storage_gb=500,
|
||||
storage_cost_per_gb=0.025,
|
||||
monthly_engineering_hours=80,
|
||||
eng_hourly_rate=150,
|
||||
one_time_setup_cost=50_000,
|
||||
)
|
||||
print(f'12-month TCO: ${tco:,.0f}')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Build vs API break-even
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def break_even_volume(
|
||||
api_cost_per_call: float,
|
||||
self_host_fixed_monthly: float, # 매 GPU + ops
|
||||
self_host_marginal_per_call: float, # 매 electricity
|
||||
):
|
||||
"""매 break-even calls / month."""
|
||||
if api_cost_per_call <= self_host_marginal_per_call:
|
||||
return float('inf') # 매 API 의 cheaper always
|
||||
return self_host_fixed_monthly / (api_cost_per_call - self_host_marginal_per_call)
|
||||
|
||||
# 매 example
|
||||
break_even = break_even_volume(
|
||||
api_cost_per_call=0.005,
|
||||
self_host_fixed_monthly=4000, # 매 1× A100 + ops
|
||||
self_host_marginal_per_call=0.0001,
|
||||
)
|
||||
print(f'Break-even: {break_even:,.0f} calls/month')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### LLM routing (multi-model)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class CostAwareRouter:
|
||||
def __init__(self):
|
||||
self.simple_model = 'gpt-4o-mini' # 매 $0.15 / 1M input
|
||||
self.complex_model = 'gpt-4o' # 매 $5 / 1M input
|
||||
self.judge_model = 'gpt-4o-mini' # 매 cheap classifier
|
||||
|
||||
async def route(self, query: str):
|
||||
# 매 1. classify complexity
|
||||
complexity = await self.classify_complexity(query)
|
||||
|
||||
# 매 2. route
|
||||
if complexity == 'simple':
|
||||
return await llm.generate(query, model=self.simple_model)
|
||||
else:
|
||||
return await llm.generate(query, model=self.complex_model)
|
||||
|
||||
async def classify_complexity(self, query):
|
||||
prompt = f"Classify '{query}' as 'simple' or 'complex'. Reply 1 word."
|
||||
return (await llm.generate(prompt, model=self.judge_model)).strip().lower()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Prompt cache (Anthropic / OpenAI)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# 매 Claude prompt caching
|
||||
import anthropic
|
||||
client = anthropic.Anthropic()
|
||||
|
||||
response = client.messages.create(
|
||||
model='claude-sonnet-4-6',
|
||||
max_tokens=1024,
|
||||
system=[
|
||||
{
|
||||
'type': 'text',
|
||||
'text': LARGE_SYSTEM_PROMPT_10K_TOKENS, # 매 cached
|
||||
'cache_control': {'type': 'ephemeral'},
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': user_query}],
|
||||
)
|
||||
# 매 90% cost reduction on cached portion.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Token cost estimation (Tiktoken)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import tiktoken
|
||||
|
||||
def estimate_cost(text: str, model='gpt-4o', kind='input'):
|
||||
enc = tiktoken.encoding_for_model(model)
|
||||
n_tokens = len(enc.encode(text))
|
||||
rates = {
|
||||
'gpt-4o': {'input': 5.00, 'output': 15.00},
|
||||
'gpt-4o-mini': {'input': 0.15, 'output': 0.60},
|
||||
}[model]
|
||||
return n_tokens / 1_000_000 * rates[kind]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### A/B test ROI measurement
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def calculate_ai_lift(control_metrics, variant_metrics):
|
||||
"""매 A/B test 의 lift 의 calculate."""
|
||||
revenue_lift = (variant_metrics['avg_revenue'] - control_metrics['avg_revenue']) / control_metrics['avg_revenue']
|
||||
|
||||
monthly_users = variant_metrics['user_count']
|
||||
monthly_lift_revenue = monthly_users * (variant_metrics['avg_revenue'] - control_metrics['avg_revenue'])
|
||||
|
||||
annual_lift = monthly_lift_revenue * 12
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
'revenue_lift_pct': revenue_lift * 100,
|
||||
'monthly_lift_$': monthly_lift_revenue,
|
||||
'annual_lift_$': annual_lift,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Batch vs real-time decision
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def latency_cost_tradeoff(latency_sla_ms, traffic_qps):
|
||||
if latency_sla_ms > 5000 and traffic_qps < 10:
|
||||
return 'batch' # 매 spot, async
|
||||
if latency_sla_ms < 100:
|
||||
return 'realtime + warm + autoscale'
|
||||
return 'standard online'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Sustainability tracker
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def co2_per_inference(model_size_b, gpu_tdp_w, tokens_per_sec, grid_g_per_kwh=400):
|
||||
"""매 estimate CO2 / token."""
|
||||
energy_per_token_wh = gpu_tdp_w / tokens_per_sec / 3600 # 매 Wh
|
||||
co2_g = energy_per_token_wh / 1000 * grid_g_per_kwh
|
||||
return co2_g # 매 grams CO2 / token
|
||||
|
||||
# 매 GPT-4o: 매 ~0.0001 g CO2 / token (estimated).
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🤔 결정 기준
|
||||
| 상황 | Approach |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Low volume | API |

|
||||
| Frontier capability | API (latest) |
|
||||
| Cost-sensitive | Open model + quantization |
|
||||
|
