Buy tokens, rent GPUs, or own the rack?

Open-weight models are now good enough to make self-hosting a financial question rather than a capability one. I modelled four options, an office rack, colocation, rented GPUs and per-token APIs, to find where each one actually wins. The answer turns on utilisation, and it isn't the one the internet keeps giving.

Turn a $3m AI bill into $1.9m

Most teams overpay for AI twice without noticing: they run everything through the default flagship model, and they buy the tokens on a metered plan they can't see into. An intelligent proxy fixes both. Here is the maths, a calculator you can drag, and where Flowstate fits.

Connect Trello

Connect Trello to bring in the boards and cards your teams organise their work on. Their work lands on your Flowstate projects as effort and cost. Flowstate only reads from Trello.

You need access to integrations. Ask your Flowstate admin. For the whole set-up, including linking projects, see Connect your project tool.

Before you start

  • Your people in Flowstate, with the email address they use in Trello. See People and teams.
  • A Trello user who can see the workspace’s boards. Flowstate reads what that person can see.

You can connect one project tool at a time.

Connect Trello

Trello connects in one click. You sign in to Trello and approve, with no key or token to copy.

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations, select Browse catalog and open Trello.
  2. Select Connect. Trello opens.
  3. Sign in and approve Flowstate’s read access. You come back to Flowstate.
  4. Choose the Trello workspace to bring in.
  5. Choose what becomes a project and how statuses map, then match people. See Connect your project tool.

What syncs

  • Boards, their cards, who each card is assigned to, and when cards move between lists.
  • Nothing goes back to Trello.

Check it’s working

Go to Settings → Integrations → Sync Health and open the Trello tab. When the first sync has finished, the status is Healthy. See Check and fix syncing.

If something’s not right

  • Some boards are missing. Flowstate reads what the person who connected can see. Connect again as someone who can see every board you need.
  • Someone’s work isn’t counted. They aren’t matched to a person yet. See Match people and teams from your tools.
