Observability gains weight in controlling agentic AI costs
55% of organizations cannot accurately control their AI costs, according to the Splunk State of Observability 2026, produced by Oxford Economics with 2,050 IT professionals from ten countries. The study notes that autonomous agents make consumption and behavior harder to anticipate, and that observability is increasingly tied to financial management. 87% consider monitoring AI workloads a priority, but 54% have no business results linked to that oversight and 56% cannot properly measure the quality of model responses.
