UnverifiedCost accounting should separately track the volume and cost of input tokens and output tokens, rather than looking at total token count in aggregate.68% similarUnverifiedThe formula for evaluating real API cost should be: nominal unit price × effective token count × (1 + retry rate), rather than only looking at the unit price on the pricing page.65% similarUnverifiedTrue cost equals unit price multiplied by actual token count, adjusted for precision, latency, and availability.64% similarUnverifiedEvaluating document parsers requires locking the solution version number and recording per-page cost and latency alongside the pass rate, because a 2% higher pass rate that costs 10 times more is not necessarily worthwhile.62% similarUnverifiedWhen evaluating agent cost, one should look at both total input tokens and the uncached ratio, rather than only the token unit price.62% similar
