r/LocalLLaMA on Reddit: Cost comparisons between OpenAi, Mistral, Claude and Gemini
January 11, 2024 -

Update: This is now out of date. Please use a dedicated cost calculator like llmpricecheck.com or https://docsbot.ai/tools/gpt-openai-api-pricing-calculator

I compiled a breakdown of cost/performance in a google sheet and there were a couple of things that struck me:

  1. Mistral-medium is really impressive and sits perfectly sandwiched between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. In my (limited) experience it's a great choice for anyone that isn't able to get consistency or quality out of GPT-3.5.

  2. Why would anyone choose Claude? No but seriously, what are their competitive advantage? Safety?

  3. GPT-3.5 v Gemini Pro seems very close but in my (limited) experience GPT-3.5 does perform better in practice. I'd be curious what other peoples experiences are.

Google sheet is here, please let me know if I bungled any of the numbers.

  • All prices are normalized to USD/1M tokens. (EUR -> USD conversion value as of today)

  • I only used the LMSYS chatbot arena benchmark because all the rest have seemingly been gamified already.

  • The sheet includes an example estimate calculator, just copy the sheet to override the values try it.

Edit: Added Mistral-7B-OpenOrca, Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 and Llama-2-70b-chat-hf running on Anyscale.

Thoughts on GPT-3.5-Turbo vs. Claude 3 Haiku
Just some food for thought. Like many others, I have been recently switching to Claude 3 Haiku, finding it excellent and outstanding for its pricing level ($0.25/M input tokens, $1.25/M output compared to GPT-3.5-Turbo’s $0.50/M input, $1.50/M output). For context, Haiku is way above ... More on community.openai.com

Cost comparisons between OpenAi, Mistral, Claude and Gemini
I think the cost/benefit for Mistral models is even more apparent when considering the Anyscale endpoints cost: 0.15/M and 0.50/M for Mistral-tiny (7B) and Mistral-small (8x7B), respectively. That's what we're using at my company and it's a really good deal. More on reddit.com

Claude has basically price matched them
You know I asked ChatGPT a legal question and it told me it was not a lawyer, and Claude was 100% down to help. I think OpenAI is making a mistake walling off so much of their AI's application. Like, they could just have a pretty tight disclaimer you have to agree to before using it for x, y, or z. More on reddit.com
