It depends @manzie

Tokens are expensive for testing, because you’re going to be re-sending over and over, until you get your workflow right, and depending on how complicated, advanced and AI reliance Is your workflow, It can pile-up real quick.

So, what I do Is testing on small local models and get it right with them, if the results are good with small models, I know that paid models are going to be way better.

I’d recommend to capture the tokens each run (they’re part of the output), and add them up, that’ll give you a ballpark measure for how much it’ll cost you to run the workflow.

Before going to production, I’d do a test run on ChatGPT, Gemini or any other, ando decide if the results are worth paying.
