30B vs 70B vs 235B: How to Pick Open Model Size Per Task
Parameter count is no longer a reliable proxy for inference cost. With Mixture-of-Experts architectures breaking the linear pricing curve, you can stop guessing and use a simple per-token price ladder to size open models precisely against your workload.
