It’s not outdated at all to use tokens to estimate performance, it’s directly related.

  But why should I care? If my metrics are speed and cost? How many tokens it takes as a user is arbitrary to some extent.

    If speed is a metric for you, tokens required to solve a problem affects that metric. All else being equal passing triple the amount of tokens through a model to solve the same problem makes it slower. Doesn’t mean this model is bad, and it has to be considered how cheap it is, but it’s a factor.

      Still, seems useless to measure tokens when you can measure speed.
