Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

🟢get_nerfwatch_scores
Latest public Nerf Watch scores, previous runs, changes and baselines for at most 100 models, ordered by provider, name and model id. No arguments. Histories are available through get_nerfwatch_history. Scores and changes are rounded to two decimals; comparisons are within one suite version. A lower score is a lower score on this suite, not proof that a provider changed a model. Unofficial, not affiliated with OpenAI or Anthropic. Source: https://tokenusage.dev/nerfwatch

}🟢get_nerfwatch_history(model)
Retained public Nerf Watch score history for one model, oldest first, including each point's suite version. The required model id is available from get_nerfwatch_scores. Missing days are missing, not zero; comparisons are within one suite version. A lower score is a lower score on this suite, not proof that a provider changed a model.
