UnverifiedWhen evaluating model costs, one should not focus solely on unit price; token usage efficiency is equally critical.75% similarUnverifiedCosts themselves are often estimates rather than constants; one can consider modeling costs as intervals or distributions to enable robust decision-making.72% similarUnverified评估模型成本的正确指标不是单位Token价格，而是完成任务的总成本（Total Cost of Task）72% similarVerifiedAPI call fees are priced separately for input tokens and output tokens, and the unit price of output tokens is typically higher than that of input tokens, because the output stage requires autoregressive inference.71% similarUnverifiedA model's maximum input length, API billing, and inference cost are usually all calculated by the number of tokens.71% similar
