We're about at the point where the AI is now pretty insanely cheap. Passing 100K tokens of context then asking hundreds of questions of 100 tokens each would cost about as much as a single Google search API call.

Out of the hundreds of questions, most of them could even be different variations of the same question to capture more nuance than what is normally possible in a single multiple-choice.

When I reviewed our internal AI workflows i was shocked at how often a decision API was a good fit or could streamline the process.

Being able to get a fast, high quality answer to the question "does this warrant interrupting a human?" or "does this look suspicious?" was a game changer for us.

I was also shocked to see that after a week of heavily experimenting I did not even burn through 5 USD!
