Federal, state, and local agencies are moving AI from pilots to mission-critical work. Once the GPUs are in place, the next question is how to get AI to every program and team securely and cost-effectively, on infrastructure the agency controls.

Join Rafay and Accenture for an executive briefing and fireside chat on how public sector organizations turn an AI factory into a governed AI service. Tokens are central to how that works. When models are exposed as token-metered APIs, every request becomes measurable: what ran, for whom, at what cost, and under whose authority.

In this session, you’ll see how to

  • Lower the cost per token, so AI capacity reaches more programs and use cases within the same budget
  • Give mission teams a choice of models and where they run (on-premises, in sovereign regions, or at the edge) while IT keeps control of policy, access, and isolation
  • Get full visibility into token usage by agency, program, and team, for chargeback, budget planning, and audit
