Why is it not useful? Input token pricing is the same for 4.7. The same prompt costs roughly 30% more now, for input.
The idea is that smarter models might use fewer turns to accomplish the same task - reducing the overall token usage
Though, from my limited testing, the new model is far more token hungry overall
That's valid, but it's also worth knowing it's only one part of the puzzle. The submission title doesn't say "input".
