A comparison of AI agent task execution costs reveals significant differences between models and versions, particularly when using Amazon Bedrock. A simple prompt resulted in varying token counts for different Claude Sonnet versions (4.6, 5, and 5.5), while OpenAI's GPT models (5.4 to 6.1 Sol) showed stable token usage for the same prompt. More complex tasks involving an agent and tool consultations led to a substantial increase in token consumption, highlighting the importance of considering accumulated context over multiple calls. AI
IMPACT Understanding token consumption differences across models and task complexity is crucial for optimizing AI operational costs.
