UnverifiedEstimating cost per token by dividing single-request inference speed by the hourly rental rate overestimates by about 5.7 times under that concurrency load.67% similarUnverifiedAs the number of agent turns increases and context accumulates, uncached input costs rise on a quadratic curve—when 10 turns correspond to 1x cost, 40 turns correspond to approximately 16x cost.64% similarUnverifiedUltraFast reaches 8 times the standard speed, approximately 300 tokens per second, at the cost of 6 times the price.64% similarVerifiedThe output price of mainstream top-tier closed-source models is often 3 to 5 times the input price, with some flagship model output prices as high as $15 or more per million tokens.64% similar
