intro episode: section on LLM token costs #15

Description

@srerickson

A short section acknowledging the economic facts about LLMs.

  • Current subscription models are subsidized, costs will likely go up
  • Understanding how tokens cost per token: $ / million tokens (input, output, cache).
  • Use the smallest model for the task. It takes time to develop experience in this issue.
  • In the long term, hopefully self-hosted, open-weights model will become practical as a coding tool. This isn't quite the reality yet.
  • Explain what a token is
