- The ledger defines cost as API-equivalent inference from token usage, not the amount charged under a ChatGPT subscription.
Field notes
The archive interface offers newest- and oldest-first sorting, generation-number ordering, cost comparisons, and filters for mechanic and QA status. The site defines its cost figure as API-equivalent inference calculated from generation-time token use, and explicitly says that figure may differ from a ChatGPT subscription charge. The stated goal is to track how marginal production cost changes as models and the generation system improve.
