Batch job sizing
A classification job that processes 100,000 sentences at 15 words each sends 1,995,000 input tokens and returns a label of roughly 10 tokens per item. At the cheapest input rate in this dataset that prompt costs $0.20; at the most expensive, $19.95.
The output side is where most classification projects get their surprise: 100,000 labels of 10 tokens is 1,000,000 output tokens, billed at three to five times the input rate.
