Anthropic models may be cheaper to use than some large open-source Chinese models, per a new study by AlphaSense.
根据AlphaSense的一项新研究，Anthropic的模型可能比一些大型开源中文模型使用起来更便宜。
It says Kimi is substantially cheaper per token than GPT-5.6 Sol, yet more expensive per completed question because it consumes many more tokens while assembling context.
该研究指出，Kimi每token的价格远低于GPT-5.6 Sol，但每个已完成问题的成本更高，因为它在组装上下文时消耗了更多token。
The real unit of cost is not $/token, but tokens-to-completion × token price. A more expensive model that searches efficiently, stops at the right time, and reasons over a smaller, cleaner context can have a lower total inference bill.
真正的成本单位不是美元/token，而是完成所需的token数乘以token价格。一个更昂贵的模型如果搜索高效、在正确时机停止，并在更小更干净的上下文上进行推理，其总推理成本可能更低。
“Token efficiency” is really a systems property, not an API-pricing property. Kimi K3 can have cheaper tokens yet cost more per question because poor stopping behavior and repeated retrieval inflate context before useful reasoning even begins; in multi-step agents, that waste propagates into later steps, so a small retrieval inefficiency can become a much larger workflow-level tax.
“Token效率”实际上是一个系统属性，而非API定价属性。Kimi K3的token更便宜，但每个问题的成本更高，因为糟糕的停止行为和重复检索在有效推理开始前就膨胀了上下文；在多步骤代理中，这种浪费会传播到后续步骤，因此小的检索低效可能变成更大的工作流级税负。
AlphaSense gets roughly a 3× cost reduction from changing retrieval around the same model, while task-level routing improves preference even further.
AlphaSense通过改变同一模型周围的检索方式，成本降低了约3倍，而任务级路由进一步提升了偏好。
So that means model vendors can keep leapfrogging each other without fully commoditizing the application layer, because whoever owns retrieval, routing, and evaluation decides which model is economically viable for each task.
这意味着模型供应商可以继续相互超越，而不会完全商品化应用层，因为谁掌握了检索、路由和评估，谁就决定了每个任务在经济上可行的模型。
