Frontier AI model pricing: tokens per dollar compared
A new analysis calculates the real cost of using frontier AI models by comparing tokens per dollar across providers. The study reveals significant price differences, with some models costing over 10x more than others for similar output. Developers can use this data to optimize spending on AI inference.
