The inference cost of large language models is variable and usage-based; a single Agent handling a complex task may trigger dozens of model calls and consume millions of tokens.

UnverifiedThe cost of each large language model call is positively correlated with the number of input tokens, and in an Agent loop, as the conversation history accumulates, the cost of each call grows linearly.82% similarUnverifiedThe cost structure of large language models includes a massive one-time investment during the training phase and ongoing operational costs during the inference phase.80% similarVerifiedThe computational cost of large language models depends primarily on the number of tokens, model parameter scale, and context window size.79% similarUnverifiedIn large model inference, the stronger the model capability (more parameters, deeper reasoning), the higher the marginal cost, which stands in contrast to the cost structure of traditional software development where copying is essentially free.78% similarUnverifiedAutoregressive model inference must be executed strictly in serial; generating each token requires one complete forward pass, which is an important structural reason for the high cost of large model inference.78% similar
