Why is it not useful? Input token pricing is the same for 4.7. The same prompt costs roughly 30% more now, for input.

The idea is that smarter models might use fewer turns to accomplish the same task - reducing the overall token usage

Though, from my limited testing, the new model is far more token hungry overall

Well you‘ll need the same prompt for input tokens?

Only the first one. Ideally now there is no second prompt.

		Are you aware that every tool call produces output which also counts as input to the LLM?

That's valid, but it's also worth knowing it's only one part of the puzzle. The submission title doesn't say "input".
