(B5) Cost & Performance Optimization

Course Title: Cost & Performance Optimization

Duration: 4 Hours

Course Modalities:

• In-Classroom (166 West Main Street, Suite 204B, Mesa, AZ 85201)

As AI systems move from prototypes to production, cost control and performance optimization become critical success factors. This course equips AI Builders with the knowledge and techniques needed to design, deploy, and operate AI applications that are efficient, scalable, and financially sustainable. 

Cost & Performance Optimization focuses on the practical strategies required to manage the economic and operational realities of modern AI systems. Participants will explore how model selection, prompt design, architecture decisions, infrastructure choices, and monitoring practices directly impact cost, latency, throughput, and reliability. The course emphasizes trade-off analysis and optimization patterns that align technical decisions with business goals, preparing learners to build AI solutions that scale responsibly in real-world environments. 

Modules:

• Cost Fundamentals of AI Systems
• Performance Metrics and Bottlenecks 
• Model, Prompt, and Retrieval Optimization
• Architectural Optimization Patterns 
• Monitoring, Governance, and Continuous Optimization 
• Final Exam
