r2ai C: cost does not show

[cryptax]

Description

Please describe what are you missing or wanting to be improved

In r2ai C version, I run a question in auto mode with r2ai -a myquestion. At the end, the status line shows something like this:

gpt-4o-mini | total: 15214 in: 14574 out: 640 | run: 8176 in: 7595 out: 581 | 11s / 57s

Notice the cost is not present. In r2ai Python version, it's there, and that's a quite nice feature to see how much we are spending.

by checking the way this capitalist crap works. i think its better not to implement this feature. because it will be quite imprecise and very tied to each provider because there's no standard or clear way to find out that value. the model prices must be hardcoded and you can only compuite the amount of tokens by submitting separate querioes with the data sent and received. the stats endpoint provides info about usage within a date range..which is not tied to an specific api key. we can maybe keep track of amount of tokens or bytes sent/received and the time spent. and maybe add some limits to avoid r2ai to consume the whole universe. wdyt? im closing here, but feel free to open other tickets to discuss alternative solutions
