The premise
An image translates to vendor-specific token counts based on resolution and tiling rules; estimate before scaling.
What AI does well here
- Estimate per-image cost ahead of rollout
- Right-size images before sending
- Compare cost per task across vendors
What AI cannot do
- Beat the vendor's tile algorithm
- Cache image inputs in most setups
- Predict pricing changes
