UnverifiedOpen-source model capabilities are approximately 90% of closed-source models, yet their revenue accounts for only about 4% of total model revenue.69% similarUnverifiedThe key to cost optimization has shifted from 'which model to choose' to 'how to distribute requests', and the reasonable approach is routing: hand about 90% of calls that don't need frontier intelligence to cheap models, and route the remaining 10% of requests that need frontier reasoning to high-end models.66% similarUnverifiedOnce an enterprise's daily inference request volume exceeds 100,000–500,000, the total cost of ownership of building one's own open-source model inference service begins to fall below the cost of continuously calling commercial APIs.66% similarVerifiedThe API call cost of a high-intelligence model can be 10–50 times that of a low-intelligence model.65% similarVerifiedThe cost of completing simple tasks with a small model may be as little as one-tenth or even less than that of a large model.64% similar
