Show HN: Orbit – Track "zombie loops" and cost-per-feature in AI agents (withorbit.io)

Orbit has launched a new tool designed to help AI teams track and manage the costs associated with their AI agents, particularly focusing on what are termed "zombie loops" that can lead to unexpected expenses. The platform connects every API call to specific product features, enabling teams to pinpoint which aspects of their AI deployment are incurring high costs or experiencing failures. By monitoring usage against spending in real-time, Orbit aims to prevent sudden spikes in AI expenditure and provide comprehensive error tracking. This tool is significant for the AI/ML community as it addresses a critical pain point: understanding the financial implications of AI operations, which often go unnoticed until financial reporting. Orbit's SDK integrates seamlessly with existing AI applications, ensuring no external monitoring or interception of API requests, thereby maintaining security while offering deterministic metrics on cost, latency, and error rates. Developers can quickly get started with minimal setup, allowing them to gain immediate insights into the operational efficiency of their AI implementations.
