UnverifiedFor 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.74% similarUnverifiedObservability costs can account for 5% to 20% of usage costs; a common control is to sample and trace 10% to 20% of production traffic while logging token data for 100% of it.71% 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% similarUnverifiedThe inference cost of the draft model in speculative decoding is typically only 1/5 to 1/10 that of the main model.70% similar
