alt Hacker NewsTo me this is clearly a skill issue. Several millions of tokens per day is peanuts, even if uncached. gpt-5.5 is $5 per million of input tokens.
Anybody doing things seriously understand how to optimize their workflows for smaller models once they start to lock in processes.
The expensive tokens are output, not input. A useful rule of thumb is that a million tokens per day means about ~10 tok/s on a 24/7 basis.
