In automated workflows, relaxing the retry scope from a narrow set to a larger class of failures significantly increases the number of retries, and if the failure occurs after calling a large model, the retry often requires re-executing that call, thereby incurring real dollar costs.

UnverifiedIf a large model is re-invoked for every regression test, costs will expand linearly with iteration frequency.77% similarVerifiedIf a low-cost model has insufficient reasoning capability, it leads to more retry rounds, and the hidden costs of accumulated failed retries may exceed those of a high-cost, high-efficiency solution (the paradox of "cheap models actually being more expensive").77% similarVerifiedWhen validation fails, the specific error should be fed back to the model for correction, but retries must have limits on the number of attempts, timeout duration, and cost control, as retries increase latency and resource consumption.77% similarUnverifiedEvery model invocation incurs a charge, and complex workflows may involve multiple rounds of calls, causing costs to accumulate rapidly at scale.76% similarUnverifiedHaving a large model directly perform thousands of multiply-accumulate operations leads to three outcomes: slow, expensive, and incorrect75% similar
