Unverified50% confidenceFactExact time
For a premium reasoning model costing $0.015 per query, a $0.00002 embedding call corresponds to an economic break-even hit rate below 1%; when routing to lightweight models (such as GPT-4o-mini or Claude 3.5 Haiku) with an inference call cost of $0.0002, an application needs a 15% to 20% cache hit rate to avoid losing money.

UnverifiedA lower cost per token does not mean a lower cost per correct decision; once the cost of judgment errors is factored in, a $0.02 model with a 15% error rate may be more expensive than a $0.10 model with a 5% error rate.74% similarUnverified仅用小模型策略的每正确答案成本最低($0.0004)但准确率仅33%，说明没有准确率底线的每正确答案成本指标具有误导性72% similarUnverifiedThe inference cost of the draft model in speculative decoding is typically only 1/5 to 1/10 that of the main model.72% similarUnverifiedIn a simulation of 2000 requests, the small model (1 unit cost/request) had an accuracy of 74.5% and a cost of 1.34 per correct answer; the large model (20 unit cost/request) had an accuracy of 95.8% and a cost of 20.88 per correct answer.71% similarUnverifiedA model with slightly lower accuracy but five times cheaper may outperform on the valid findings per dollar metric, provided tiered routing is used to cover high-risk scenarios.70% similar
