One-Shot vs Chunked

Archived study

Models token costs for reading a long document in one request versus processing chunks and aggregating their summaries. The archived analysis varies document length, chunk count, intermediate summaries, cache modes, and a tiered pricing boundary.

Interpretation and limits

This is a pricing calculation, not a comparison of comprehension or summary quality. Outcomes depend on the supplied prices, token counts, and aggregation assumptions; the historical model and pricing claims were not independently reverified.
