Estimate API cost for OCR models #31

Open mickley opened 3 weeks ago

mickley commented 3 weeks ago

Currently, the cost of OCR API access, such as Google Vision aren't included in the cost calculations, expense report, or cost estimations. They are inexpensive, but as LLM costs go down, they are becoming a larger portion. Google Vision API is now about 10x more per specimen than Gemini 1.5 Flash.

Well that's good to know. I hadn't checked prices for OCR in a while. I'll add this to the issue #27
