## AI overview

The article presents an open-source benchmark for comparing OpenAI models on Amazon Bedrock with OpenAI API baselines by cost per correct answer, multi-turn agent trajectory cost, and deliverable quality.

## Source excerpt

Comparing models on dollars per million tokens misses what production workloads actually pay for: outcomes. This post shares an open-source benchmarking harness that measures cost per correct answer, agent trajectory cost, and rubric-graded deliverable quality across OpenAI models on Amazon Bedrock.
