Ralph and Larry dig into the real cost of AI services before you commit — and the Azure Pricing Calculator turns out to be more relevant than ever now that AI Services have their own pricing tiers, training hours, and per-transaction gotchas. Ralph walks through anomaly detection pricing, the 80/20 training rule, committed tier discounts, and why you should always lead with the business value before you show the bill. Along the way they cover GitHub Codespaces as a zero-setup developer environment, the Power Platform Conference in Vegas, a free M365 Developer Tenant trick for getting Azure credits, and a teaser for something speech-related that Ralph isn’t allowed to talk about yet — but really wants to.
