US$4.14
per month estimated model API cost
TRANSPARENT ENGINEERING EVIDENCE
98.2% lower estimated model API cost in the demonstrated workflow.
Axiomyx’s live autonomous USDCAD implementation uses deterministic software to retain state and qualify genuine opportunities before invoking expensive model reasoning.
THE COMPARISON
Invoke AI when reasoning adds value.

ENGINEERING COST COMPARISON BASED ON LIVE SYSTEM EVIDENCE
98.2%
lower estimated model API cost against the defined five-minute timed single-agent baseline.
METHODOLOGY
A bounded workload comparison, not a universal promise.
Qualified-event scenario
Three qualified opportunities per day invoke AI after deterministic opportunity qualification.
Timed single-agent baseline
One model invocation every five minutes, or 288 timed opportunities per day before any workload-specific qualification.
Timed three-agent alternative
A three-agent timed alternative using the engineering comparison’s context and call assumptions.
Model and pricing basis
GPT-5.6 Terra pricing captured on 2 August 2026: US$2.50 per million input tokens, US$0.25 per million cached input tokens and US$15 per million output tokens. No claim is made that provider pricing remains unchanged.
Context
The comparison retains its fixed and dynamic context assumptions. Different prompt sizes change the result.
Caching sensitivity
Static instructions may benefit from cached-input pricing; dynamic market state and new evidence cannot all be treated as a reusable static prefix. Caching and evidence reuse can alter both baseline and Axiomyx charges.
CALCULATION DETAIL
The approved engineering comparison, stated without re-estimation.
The dollar values below are calculated estimates based on live-system call evidence, the validated workload assumptions and the model pricing basis above.
- Axiomyx · three qualified opportunities/day
- US$4.14/month estimated model API cost.
- Axiomyx · five qualified opportunities/day
- US$6.89/month estimated model API cost, retained as a call-frequency sensitivity.
- Five-minute timed single agent
- 288 calls/day before workload-specific qualification; US$231.65/month estimated model API cost.
- Five-minute timed three-agent alternative
- US$490.37/month estimated model API cost under the validated engineering comparison’s context and call assumptions.
- Comparison result
- US$4.14/month versus US$231.65/month: 98.2% lower estimated model API cost against the defined five-minute timed single-agent baseline.
The 98.2% result is workload-specific. It is not a claim about every Axiomyx workload, total system cost or total token reduction. Different call frequency, context size, output size, model pricing, caching and evidence reuse produce different results.
EXCLUSIONS
Model API charges are not total system cost.
- • Brokerage and execution charges
- • Market-data charges
- • General cloud and infrastructure costs
- • Engineering labour and replacement cost
- • Connector implementation and support
What the result proves
Deterministic software can monitor continuously, retain state and qualify genuine events while AI is invoked only where model reasoning adds value. An engineering replacement estimate must separately account for the deterministic services, deployment, monitoring and maintenance that make that possible.
Results in other workloads vary with agent frequency, context size, model pricing, caching and evidence reuse.
