A new method for evaluating the cost of LLM chatbots focuses on the rate of accepted decisions rather than just the cost per token. This approach accounts for factors like retries, timeouts, and the need for human review, which can significantly increase the effective cost of a cheaper token. The proposed calculation involves tracking input and output tokens, including those from retries, and determining the percentage of accepted results. This method is particularly useful for applications requiring structured outputs, such as scoring in educational technology, where a malformed response can lead to wasted resources and necessitate further processing.
