UnverifiedThe per-trace billing model may lead to unexpected expenses at scale, which is a trade-off factor in cost control.77% similarUnverifiedThe hidden costs of switching to another model often far exceed the surface-level price difference, requiring re-tuning of prompts, validating output stability, updating dependency libraries, and bearing regression risk.72% similarUnverifiedThe scaling effect of inference costs is one of the risks most easily underestimated by enterprises in the production phase; after going live, call volume may grow exponentially, amplifying an originally acceptable per-call cost into an unbearable monthly bill.71% similarUnverifiedIn industrial quality inspection, the false positive rate corresponds to production capacity loss and the false negative rate corresponds to quality control risk, requiring adjustment of the decision threshold based on business objectives.68% similar
