Cost savings for agent workflows

A typical Cline agent task uses 20-100K tokens (multi-file reads, thinking, writing). With AIPower:

ModelCost per 100K-token task
Claude Sonnet 4 (direct)~$1.80
DeepSeek V3 via AIPower~$0.08
auto-code smart routing~$0.30 (mixed)

For high-volume agent work (100+ tasks/day), savings can be $500-2000/month.
