A developer outlines a method for teams to accurately estimate their costs when choosing between different OpenAI models, moving beyond simple per-request pricing. The approach involves creating a unified model of the team's workload, considering factors like user roles, request frequency, context length, response length, and repetitions. This detailed calculation helps identify which models exceed budget thresholds, even if their individual query costs seem low.
