Key Pricing Factors
Input vs Output Pricing
Output tokens typically cost 2-5x more than input tokens. For chat applications, balance is key.
Context Window Size
Larger context windows (100K+) allow processing long documents but may have higher per-token costs.
Multimodal Capabilities
Vision, audio, and other modalities may have different pricing structures or additional costs.
Provider Comparison
| Provider | Strengths | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | Best coding, wide adoption | General purpose, coding |
| Anthropic | Longest context, safety | Analysis, safety-critical |
| Multimodal, huge context | Document processing | |
| Meta | Open source, no cost | Self-hosting, research |
Choosing the Right Model
💡 Model Selection Guidelines
- Simple tasks: Use budget models (GPT-4o Mini, Haiku, Flash)
- Complex reasoning: Use standard tier (GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet)
- Critical applications: Test multiple models, benchmark quality
- High volume: Prioritize cost efficiency over capabilities
- Long documents: Choose models with large context windows
