UnverifiedTreating every failure as an equally weighted deduction is a serious evaluation pitfall, as an average score of 95% can mask the most costly and irreversible failures within that 5%.74% similarUnverifiedToken pricing varies enormously across different models, and choosing the wrong model can result in several times the cost for batch tasks.73% similarUnverifiedThe alignment tax refers to the quantifiable cost that alignment measures impose on a model's actual performance, such as decreased accuracy on objective tasks, over-refusal, and homogeneous outputs.72% similarUnverifiedLow-confidence requests first fail on the small model and then fall back to the large model with the same context for a second generation, causing such requests to incur the cost of two generations and resulting in double payment.72% similarUnverifiedThe expected cost of a decision depends not only on the probability that the model makes an incorrect judgment, but also on the actual consequences when an error occurs.70% similar
