UnverifiedToken pricing varies enormously across different models, and choosing the wrong model can result in several times the cost for batch tasks.67% similarUnverifiedLarge model outputs are probabilistic and non-deterministic; running the same prompt on the same version of a model multiple times may produce different results, making quality judgments in gradual rollouts difficult.66% 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.65% similarUnverified修复前模型每约29次下一token预测中约有1次的选择与数学上应有结果不同64% similarUnverifiedFailed retries across multiple models may accumulate actual costs, and if only the cost of the successful attempt is recorded, billing attribution becomes distorted.63% similar
