The lowest cost that still passes.
teleon.dev/docs/cheapest ranks solutions on the cost frontier: code-only substitutes, hybrid pipelines and model calls, each measured against the same checks, so you can pick the cheapest answer that holds.
Points on the line are the frontier: each is the best pass rate at its cost.
What it does
Cost against quality
Each solution sits on a chart of cost and pass rate.
Code where it works
Code-only substitutes replace model calls when they pass the checks.
A whole frontier to choose from
Choose by budget: every point on the frontier is the best at its cost.
The contract
A frontier entry names its pipeline, its checks and its cost per run.

Words on this page
- Pareto frontier
- The set of options where improving one measure, such as cost, would worsen another, such as quality.
- Deterministic check
- A check written as code that gives the same answer every time for the same input, at code speed and cost.
