UnverifiedWhen evaluating whether to upgrade to a more capable model, beyond absolute capability improvements, one should also focus on end-to-end efficiency and cost changes, as a more expensive advanced model may achieve a net reduction in overall cost by reducing the number of calls.80% similarUnverifiedThe cost of delegating control flow to a large model is reduced predictability, while the benefit is a significantly enhanced ability to cover long-tail edge cases.72% similarUnverifiedDistillation, quantization, and inference scheduling improvements can significantly reduce per-token serving costs, which is a relatively independent curve from intelligence improvement.71% similarUnverifiedThe cost of token usage shows a continuous downward trend, driven by reductions in hardware compute costs, improvements in algorithmic efficiency such as MoE, quantization, and speculative decoding, and competition from open-source models.71% similarUnverifiedExperiments on open-source LLMs reported in the paper show that adopting the optimal threshold strategy can achieve substantial cost reductions while meeting pre-specified performance budgets.70% similar
