UnverifiedFor models billed per token such as GPT-4o, the cost of an uncompressed long-task conversational context can be 5–10 times that of a compressed one.80% similarUnverifiedA GPT-4-level model might consume several dollars of compute for a single complex coding task.77% similarUnverifiedFor a GPT-4-level model, generating a narrative of several hundred words may incur API call costs of a few cents.76% similarUnverifiedThe token price of GPT-4-level models can be 10 to 100 times that of smaller models; token routing/model cascading strategies use small models for simple tasks and only invoke large models for complex reasoning to control costs.75% similarUnverified每一次GPT-4或Claude的推理调用背后都涉及GPU集群的实时计算，成本远高于普通数据库查询74% similar
