# Cost per Token Decides What Agentic AI Can Ship by Silas Alberti > "Agentic coding is a complex workload: long contexts, high concurrency and token volumes where cost per token decides what we can ship. Having all of it on one platform, with NVIDIA and CoreWeave engineers who work the hard problems alongside ours, matters more to us than any single spec." > **— Silas Alberti**, *From Training to Production, NVIDIA and CoreWeave Close the Loop on Agentic AI, September 30, 2026* ## Sources and Context - **Direct publication:** [From Training to Production, NVIDIA and CoreWeave Close the Loop on Agentic AI](https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/coreweave-agentic-ai-vera-rubin/) — published September 30, 2026. - **Exact published statement:** “Agentic coding is a complex workload: long contexts, high concurrency and token volumes where cost per token decides what we can ship.
