Talking Drupal #565 - That Geerling Guy

And now to talk about our module of the week, let's turn it over to Mike Anello, co-founder and vice president at Drupal Easy and maintainer of a number of Drupal modules of his own.

Mike, what do you have for us this week?

Thanks, Nick.

So this week, I'm filling in for, I guess, John and Martin this week.

So I'm doing the two roles today.

The module I picked is AI metering.

So I have been developing a Drupal AI course focused on inside AI, so all of the Drupal AI modules and the AI module ecosystem.

And one module I ran across that I really liked is called AI Metering.

And it basically, from within the Drupal interface, keeps track of usage, AI usage, LLM token usage, for individual users and roles.

I think we all know that right now, there's a lot of folks who are just kind of YOLO with AI.

They're paying the 20 bucks a month or the $200 a month, and they're just using the best model they can for everything.

And I think we all realize that's not really sustainable.

And over time, we're going to have to start kind of keeping an eye on things a little bit closer and sticking to AI token budgets and things like that.

And from the Drupal side of things, the AI metering module is off to a great start in kind of helping to not only expose what the costs are and what the usage is, but also to help mitigate it in a certain way.

So for some basics, module is relatively new, only a couple of months old, created on June 1st of this year by Yaron Tachania.

Apologies if I pronounced your name wrong.

Codeitwisely is the Drupal.org username.

It has a 1.0.1 version available, co-maintained with someone who's been on the podcast before, Carlos Espina.

I think most of us know who Carlos is.

Username Kamala on Drupal.org.

The module has security coverage, test coverage, documentation, relatively new modules, only nine open issues, four of which are categorized as bugs against the current branch.

Only 78 sites are reporting using it right now, which, you know, it's a relatively new module, but...

I think this module has a lot of upside.

The maintainers have been very communicative and very responsive to the issues I've opened.

And I think it's one of those modules that as time goes on and more and more people implement the Drupal AI modules, they're going to need or want some type of feedback like this.
