Code Generation Assistant Cost Calculator
Developer copilot processing active editor buffers, repository file trees, and generating multi-line code diffs. Code generation requires superior reasoning and syntax precision. Claude Sonnet 5 leads SWE-bench benchmarks (97.4%) with 1M context, while Devstral 2 ($0.44/1M) offers an ultra-cost-effective alternative for high-throughput autocomplete lines.
