New method prioritizes total cost for production chatbot triage

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new method for budgeting chatbot costs in production focuses on the total expense of achieving a correct triage record, rather than just the per-token rate. This approach considers input tokens, output tokens, retries, context retrieval, and the cost of human review for malformed outputs. The recommendation is to compare models using consistent workloads, including the same ticket data, system instructions, and output schema, to accurately determine the lowest cost per accepted triage record.

IMPACT This approach could lead to more cost-effective deployment of LLMs in customer service and operational workflows.
