LLM Tiering

The cost of the AI Layer is decided here and nowhere else.

Task → model

TaskModelPrice (in/out per 1M)Rationale
Policy Compilerclaude-opus-5$5 / $25Produces on-chain policy that executes money. Wrong output means lost funds — no saving here is worth it
Corporate Action Extractorclaude-sonnet-5$3 / $15High volume, structured extraction, output validated against a schema
Filing triage and materiality classificationclaude-haiku-4-5$1 / $5Thousands of filings a day, mostly noise. Filter cheap first; escalate only what passes
Risk Explainerclaude-haiku-4-5$1 / $5Paraphrasing signals into human sentences. Light task, latency-sensitive

Roughly 0.1x on a cache read

The system context — token list, schemas, thresholds — is identical across requests. At every tier, caching it is not an optimization to revisit later; it is the difference between a viable and an unviable cost structure.
