UnverifiedThe reason multimodal input costs are high is that models need to convert images or PDFs into hundreds to tens of thousands of tokens through a visual encoder (such as ViT architecture), and inference costs are approximately linearly correlated with the number of input tokens.76% similarUnverifiedBased on mainstream model API pricing as a reference, the cost of generating a 10-page PPT may be between 0.5 and 2 Chinese yuan, with AI-generated images adding an extra 0.2–0.5 yuan per image.75% similarUnverifiedThe cost of using the OpenAI API to analyze one coin photo is approximately $0.005.73% similarUnverifiedThe cost of generating a single image with mainstream cloud-based image generation APIs (such as DALL·E 3 and the Midjourney API) ranges from $0.02 to $0.08 per image.72% similar
