A public-housing waitlist office sees the usage bill jump after staff paste entire applicant packets into every prompt. What should the leader name as the usage meter?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Tokens are the usage meter: prompt text plus completion text the model processes. Pasting entire applicant packets lengthens the prompt, so the bill jumps even when most pages are unused. Logins, a license SKU, and an occupancy forecast are not that meter.
Full Explanation
Metered generative usage is billed on tokens: pieces of the prompt and of the completion the model processes. Pasting whole applicant packets lengthens the prompt, so the meter rises even when most pages are unused. Leaders manage what is sent and how long the reply is. They do not need to rebuild a raw invoice line to see that driver.
