Agree, it's confusing. I hear people discussing which model to use for what tasks and my head starts to spin because there are so many properties to account for and it's generally hard to reason about LLMs.

"Speed, quality, price: pick two". I think I'd rather see a choice like that than the current convolution of $-per-token, sub quota, latency, simulated reasoning level, model size, context size, etc, etc.
