For large-scale deployment, inference cost often accounts for the main part of TCO, so small differences in the cost line are significantly amplified at scale.

UnverifiedWhen inference costs grow linearly with usage while benefits remain limited to efficiency gains in a few positions, TCO often exceeds budgets several times over, leading some AI pilots to be halted.73% similarUnverifiedWhen the capability gap between models gradually narrows while switching costs remain high, focusing on a single provider instead becomes the rational choice for lowering total cost of ownership (TCO).73% similarUnverifiedThe coordination between the two-level policies, the choice of granularity for step descriptors, and the additional computational overhead brought by TSMC sampling are factors that need to be weighed when MLR is actually deployed.71% similarUnverified推理时计算的扩展虽能提升单次输出质量，但成本以超线性方式增长，大规模部署往往难以经济可行71% similarUnverifiedLonger context means higher time-to-first-token (TTFT), and token count is directly linearly correlated with inference costs.70% similar
