📊 Completing a task—how much cost is actually required?

B.AI’s latest round of promotions makes the prices across multiple model families more appealing. Beyond comparing their usability, you also need to consider what work is ultimately completed.

A useful metric is the total cost required to obtain a satisfactory result.

This includes the tokens consumed by the initial request, subsequent calls, and any retry usage. Even if a model has a higher unit price, it may still offer a cost advantage if it can complete the task with fewer attempts.

This is especially important for Agent workflows, because a single user request may trigger multiple model calls.

B.AI’s unified measurement and billing provide a foundation for tracking these costs, while developers can also evaluate output quality and task completion rate at the same time.

In practice, comparisons can be based on three conditions:

▪️ The same task
▪️ The same quality requirements
▪️ Total calls consumed before completion

The promotional matrix as of October 4 offers new pricing options, and real-world task tests help determine which option is better suited for a specific application.
