What's this about?
The OpenAI customer story describes matching model capability to task complexity, restricting Fast mode and assigning budgets by business stage. Estimated daily cost fell about 65% versus its earlier setup; feature-level customer-value measurement is still being built.
What exactly is cost per feature?
The total AI spend needed to deliver a usable feature, rather than the price of one model call.
What's the community saying / why does it matter?
No independent discussion or controlled study was collected. This is a vendor-hosted customer report; preserved speed and savings are reported outcomes, not a universal model-routing guarantee.
