I recently implemented a feature here on my own blog that uses OpenAI's GPT to help me correct spelling and punctuation in posted blog comments. Because I was curious, and because the scale is so small, I take the same prompt and fire it off three times. The pseudo code looks like this: for model in ("gpt-5", "gpt-5-mini", "gpt-5-nano"): response = completion( model=model, api_key=settings.OPENAI_API_KEY, messages=messages, ) record_response(response)

The first time I built an agentic workflow, it was like watching magic, i.e., until it took 38 seconds to answer a simple customer query and cost me $1.12 per request.

"One is just how fast the servers can give you back an answer so that you can make a decision. That's really important in a credit card authorization loop..."
