Developer tool compares costs of GPT, Claude, and DeepSeek LLMs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a tool to compare the costs and token usage of different large language models, including GPT, Claude, and DeepSeek. The tool utilizes the OpenAI Chat Completions format, which has become a de facto standard, allowing for easy switching between models by changing a single base URL. The developer highlights that token counts and pricing can vary significantly between models, even for the same prompt, and provides a Python script to calculate costs based on provider list prices.

IMPACT Enables developers to better manage costs and performance when integrating multiple LLMs.

    One endpoint, many models: switching between GPT, Claude and DeepSeek and logging what every call costs

    <p>The OpenAI Chat Completions format has quietly become the common plug of the LLM world. DeepSeek documents an OpenAI-format base URL for its own API, most gateways speak it, and the official <code>openai</code> Python SDK lets you point <code>base_url</code> anywhere. So switc…
