- In short
- A cost and latency model is built from three inputs: call volume, token budget per request, and model tier. Monthly cost is estimated by multiplying call volume by input tokens at the input rate, plus output tokens at the output rate. Input and output tokens are priced at different rates on every model tier, so both must be modelled separately. The cost model should be built and checked against the budget ceiling before any production code is written.
