Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Token spend doesn't matter if tasks aren't being completed. The total tokens consumed per task varies across models. A company that charges double for tokens could still be the cheaper option if its models return the right answer in fewer turns. Instead of using token spend as a KPI, companies should measure cost per successfully completed task.
