Looking only at the total token count is not enough to estimate cost accurately; the model type and the input-to-output ratio must be taken into account.

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% similarUnverifiedIn MoE models, each token is routed to only a small number of experts for computation, resulting in a large total parameter count but a small number of activated parameters.70% similarUnverifiedThe sum of the negative log probabilities of each token output by a language model is an estimate of the encoding length of the sequence, which is the origin of the perplexity metric.69% similarUnverifiedThe model offers three reasoning levels: low, high and max; in the author's tests max generated about 16% more tokens than high, with almost the same total time for reasoning tasks.69% similarUnverifiedAlmost all cost tools count the number of Tokens, but no mainstream dashboard on the market tracks the cost "per output result" or the waste of crash recovery.69% similar
