UnverifiedIn high-frequency invocation scenarios, the cost of a hosted API billed per token may far exceed the cost of self-hosted computing power, especially when an enterprise already has GPU resources.78% similarUnverifiedProduction-grade Agents require setting token budget caps and implementing rate limiting to avoid unexpectedly high API costs caused by recursive calls, invalid retries, or excessively large context windows.78% similarUnverified当token消耗量达到足够大规模时，自建推理基础设施和自主托管模型能在长期摊薄单位成本，比调用商业API更划算77% similarUnverifiedAPI bills are explicit costs, while the costs of self-hosting are implicit and dispersed, making a simple comparison of monthly API fees versus monthly GPU rental a dangerous oversimplification.77% similarUnverifiedThe per-token billing model of closed-source models causes costs to accumulate rapidly in high-concurrency scenarios.77% similar
