One thing that fell out of the data surprised me: on the exact same model, a coding-agent-shaped call (large context in, code out) costs roughly 33x more per call than a bulk-classification-shaped call. I checked this on GPT-5.6, Claude Sonnet 5, and Gemini 3.7 Flash and got 33.6x, 33.3x, and 33.3x respectively -- almost identical despite three unrelated pricing tables. Seems to be a property of the call shape, not the vendor. Writeup here: https://costpertoken.dev/guides/why-agent-calls-cost-more-than-chat-calls/

Feedback and pricing corrections welcome -- it's day 8, so there are rough edges.
