The CNCF-hosted OpenCost project published a 2025 year-in-review and 2026 priorities, reporting 11 releases that expanded usability and multi-cloud cost tracking. Notable 2025 work includes a Prometheus-less mode, generic export framework, diagnostics, and an AI-ready MCP server that lets agents query cost data in natural language. The project plans AI-usage cost tracking, supply-chain security, and KubeModel refinement for 2026.
