How much does it cost to run AI agents?

Our agents run on the highest-performing language models available because that's what's required for them to function effectively. Cheaper models often fall short — they may struggle with long contexts and are more likely to ignore or override important instructions.

For simpler use cases, this can make models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet or similar appear more cost-efficient, but the trade-off in reliability, accuracy, and ability to follow complex instructions is significant.

Currently, your agent is powered by Claude 4.0 Sonnet. While there is a more expensive model — Claude 4.0 Opus — we've found that the performance difference does not justify the additional cost for most use cases. That's why we stick with Sonnet as our top-tier default.

Our Strategy

Start with the best model to ensure your agent performs reliably. Then, if the cost becomes too high for the frequency you'd like to run the agent, let us know which agent you're referring to and we'll be happy to downgrade it to a more cost-effective model.
