The method

Compare capabilities and costs fairly

Compare the same task, required quality, and cost definitions.

When to use it

  • Choosing a model or assessing cost announcements.

Ask yourself

  • A new model is cheaper. Should we switch?

Put it into action

  • Separate scale, equivalent-capability savings, and training changes. Record inference, training, research costs, and unverifiable claims separately.

Keep these limits in mind

  • Cost claims may not be independently verifiable. Training, inference, and total company research spending are not interchangeable.
