AI API Price Tracker
Business Task Calculator ALL PRICING IN USD ($)
Estimate API costs for real-world tasks. (Assumes 500 words per task, 3:1 Input/Output ratio).
Telemetry Definitions
Composite benchmark score. >80 indicates reliability for autonomous agentic workflows.
Estimated USD cost per 1M tokens via standard 3:1 ratio (In/Out) to prevent hidden output costs.
TPS equals generation speed. TTFT dictates latency (crucial for Voice UIs).
Formula: (IQ² / (Cost + 1)) / 100. Exponentially rewards intelligence while penalizing overhead.
