At origin d, **the only usable target data are the contents of the vintage file dated d** (its training sample ends at the last quarter in that file, and all values, including those of earlier quarters, are the ones in that file). `current_vintage.csv` must not be used for estimation or as forecast input at any origin; it is provided only to compute the revision statistic and for discussion.\n- Horizons: h = 1 and h = 2 quarters after the last quarter contained in the origin's vintage file.\n- Actuals: the first-release value of the target quarter from `data/first_release.csv`.\n- Naive baseline: for both horizons, the forecast is the last value in the origin's vintage file.\n\n## Required outputs\n- `out/forecasts.csv` — one row per (origin, horizon, model), columns: `origin_date` (the vintage date, YYYY-MM-DD), `target_date` (quarter start, YYYY-MM-DD), `horizon` (1 or 2), `forecast`, `actual` (first-release value), `model` (`naive` or the value of `model_name`), `vintage_date` (the vintage file used), `train_last_date` (last quarter in the training data), `train_last_value` (the value of that quarter in the training data used), `n_train` (number of observations in the training data used).

The estimands are the real-time out-of-sample RMSE and MAE, over 8 quarterly origins and horizons h ∈ {1, 2} quarters, of (a) the naive forecast and (b) one model of your choice, evaluated against the *first-release* value of each target quarter, together with the relative improvement 1 − RMSE_model / RMSE_naive per horizon, and the mean absolute revision between the first release and the current value of the h = 1 target quarters.\n\n## Inputs\nAll files concern the series A191RL1Q225SBEA — US real GDP, percent change from preceding period, seasonally adjusted annual rate, quarterly (BEA via FRED/ALFRED); quarters are dated by their first day. See `data/README.md` for URLs, retrieval times (2026-10-30 UTC), SHA-256 and licence.\n- `data/vintages/A191RL1Q225SBEA_vintage_<YYYY-MM-DD>.csv` — 8 files, one per forecast origin (2024-01-31, 2024-04-30, 2024-07-31, 2024-10-31, 2025-01-31, 2025-04-30, 2025-07-31, 2025-12-31): the complete series exactly as it was published on that date (ALFRED; header `observation_date,A191RL1Q225SBEA_<yyyymmdd>`; values as of that date; the last row is the most recently published quarter at that date).\n- `data/current_vintage.csv` — the same series as published on 2026-10-30 (FRED; header `observation_date,A191RL1Q225SBEA`), containing all revisions known today.\n- `data/first_release.csv` — columns `quarter`, `first_release_value`, `first_release_vintage_date`: the first published value of each quarter from 2023Q3 to 2026Q3 and the (month-end) vintage date at which it was first available.\n\n## Information-availability rules\n- The 8 forecast origins are the 8 vintage dates. At origin d, **the only usable target data are the contents of the vintage file dated d** (its training sample ends at the last quarter in that file, and all values, including those of earlier quarters, are the ones in that file). `current_vintage.csv` must not be used for estimation or as forecast input at any origin; it is provided only to compute the revision statistic and for discussion.\n- Horizons: h = 1 and h = 2 quarters after the last quarter contained in the origin's vintage file.\n- Actuals: the first-release value of the target quarter from `data/first_release.csv`.\n- Naive baseline: for both horizons, the forecast is the last value in the origin's vintage file.\n\n## Required outputs\n- `out/forecasts.csv` — one row per (origin, horizon, model), columns: `origin_date` (the vintage date, YYYY-MM-DD), `target_date` (quarter start, YYYY-MM-DD), `horizon` (1 or 2), `forecast`, `actual` (first-release value), `model` (`naive` or the value of `model_name`), `vintage_date` (the vintage file used), `train_last_date` (last quarter in the training data), `train_last_value` (the value of that quarter in the training data used), `n_train` (number of observations in the training data used).

US real GDP growth from data vintages\n\n## Question\nHow accurately could US quarterly real GDP growth (A191RL1Q225SBEA, % change q/q at a seasonally adjusted annual rate) have been forecast 1 and 2 quarters ahead using only the data published at each of 8 forecast origins (`first_origin` = 2024-01-31 to `last_origin` = 2025-12-31, `n_origins` = 8)? And does a simple time-series model beat the naive (last-value) forecast when both are scored against first-release values?\n\n## Data and exclusions\n- Inputs: 8 ALFRED vintage files (307–314 data rows each), `current_vintage.csv` (318 rows) and `first_release.csv` (13 rows). Row counts are in `n_input_rows`. All SHA-256 hashes match `data/README.md` (see `out/state/data_audit.md`). No missing values, duplicate dates or quarterly gaps.\n- Information rule: at each origin the forecasts use only the vintage file dated at that origin. `current_vintage.csv` is used only for the revision statistic. The code asserts that every target's first-release date is on or after the origin date.\n- Exclusions (model only; the naive forecast uses the full vintage): quarters before 1985Q1 are dropped, and 2020Q2 and 2020Q3 (pandemic swings of about −28 and +35 % SAAR) are set to missing. For the last origin: 314 − 151 − 2 = 161 observations (`n_analysed`). The ledger is in `out/exclusions.csv`; the same rules applied at every origin are listed in `out/exclusions_by_origin.csv`.\n- Data issues and how each was handled are listed in `data_issues`. They include the 2025-12-31 eighth origin (the 2025Q3 advance estimate was delayed by the federal shutdown) and revisions of past quarters between vintages.\n\n## Method\n- Naive: the forecast for h = 1 and h = 2 is the last value in the origin's vintage file.\n- Model (`model_name` = ar1_post1985; `model_description`): an AR(1) with intercept, estimated by OLS on the origin's vintage from 1985Q1 to the last published quarter, with 2020Q2 and 2020Q3 set to missing. Any lag pair that involves those quarters is dropped. The h = 2 forecast iterates the AR(1). I fixed this specification before computing any forecast errors (`out/state/log.md`) and did not tune it on the evaluation set. The method has no randomness (`random_seed` = null).\n- Targets are the quarters h = 1 and h = 2 after the vintage's last quarter. The actual for each target is its first-release value. Metrics are RMSE and MAE over the 8 origins per horizon, and relative improvement = 1 − RMSE_model / RMSE_naive.\n- Revision statistic: the mean of |current-vintage value − first release| over the 8 h = 1 target quarters (2024Q1–2025Q4).\n- Per-row forecasts are in `out/forecasts.csv` (32 rows).\n\n## Results\n| | h = 1 | h = 2 |\n|---|---|---|\n| RMSE naive | 2.010 (`rmse_naive_h1`) | 2.265 (`rmse_naive_h2`) |\n| MAE naive | 1.688 (`mae_naive_h1`) | 1.813 (`mae_naive_h2`) |\n| RMSE AR(1) | 1.484 (`rmse_model_h1`) | 1.398 (`rmse_model_h2`) |\n| MAE AR(1) | 1.233 (`mae_model_h1`) | 1.030 (`mae_model_h2`) |\n| 1 − RMSE ratio | 0.262 (`rel_improvement_rmse_h1`) | 0.383 (`rel_improvement_rmse_h2`) |\n\nUnits are percentage points of annualised growth.\n- In this sample the AR(1) has a lower RMSE than the naive forecast: 26 % lower at h = 1 and 38 % lower at h = 2. The AR(1) pulls forecasts toward its estimated post-1985 unconditional mean, c/(1 − φ) ≈ 1.77/(1 − 0.335) ≈ 2.7 % at the last origin (`supp_ar1_coefficients_by_origin`), and this helps most after unusual quarters, such as the −0.3 first release for 2025Q1 and the 4.3 for 2025Q3.\n- Mean forecast errors (actual − forecast) are small and negative for both models: naive −0.24 / −0.19 and AR(1) −0.34 / −0.33 at h = 1 / h = 2 (`supp_mean_error_*`).\n- The mean absolute revision from first release to the 2026-10-30 vintage for the h = 1 targets is 0.5625 pp (`mean_abs_revision_h1_targets`). That is roughly a third of the AR(1) h = 1 RMSE, so the first-release target itself carries non-trivial measurement noise.\n\n## Uncertainty\n- Each metric rests on only 8 forecast errors. The h = 2 errors also overlap in time with the h = 1 errors of the next origin.\n- A Diebold–Mariano test with the Harvey–Leybourne–Newbold small-sample correction, using squared-error loss (naive minus AR(1)), gives statistics of 1.49 at h = 1 (`supp_dm_hln_stat_h1`, two-sided p = 0.18, `supp_dm_hln_pvalue_two_sided_h1`) and 1.85 at h = 2 (`supp_dm_hln_stat_h2`, p = 0.11, `supp_dm_hln_pvalue_two_sided_h2`).\n- The AR(1) advantage is therefore not statistically significant at conventional levels. The asymptotic justification of the test is also weak with n = 8.\n- A single quarter can move the RMSEs substantially. 2025Q1 (−0.3) alone contributes a naive h = 1 squared error of 6.76 out of a total of 32.33.\n\n## Limitations and open issues\n- The evaluation window is short (2024Q1–2026Q1 targets). It includes an unusual negative first release for 2025Q1 (−0.3), so the results do not generalise to other periods.\n- I specified only one model. The 1985 sample start and the pandemic treatment are judgement calls made before evaluation; I did not run other specifications, so I cannot say how sensitive the results are to these choices.\n- Actuals are first releases, as the task requires. Against current-vintage values the ranking could differ; I did not evaluate this, because current values are not real-time information.\n- The origins are not equally spaced (the 2025-12-31 origin replaces 2025-10-31).

US real GDP growth from data vintages\n\n## Question\nHow accurately could US quarterly real GDP growth (A191RL1Q225SBEA, % change q/q at a seasonally adjusted annual rate) have been forecast 1 and 2 quarters ahead using only the data published at each of 8 forecast origins (`first_origin` = 2024-01-31 to `last_origin` = 2025-12-31, `n_origins` = 8)? And does a simple time-series model beat the naive (last-value) forecast when both are scored against first-release values?\n\n## Data and exclusions\n- Inputs: 8 ALFRED vintage files (307–314 data rows each), `current_vintage.csv` (318 rows) and `first_release.csv` (13 rows). Row counts are in `n_input_rows`. All SHA-256 hashes match `data/README.md` (see `out/state/data_audit.md`). No missing values, duplicate dates or quarterly gaps.\n- Information rule: at each origin the forecasts use only the vintage file dated at that origin. `current_vintage.csv` is used only for the revision statistic. The code asserts that every target's first-release date is on or after the origin date.\n- Exclusions (model only; the naive forecast uses the full vintage): quarters before 1985Q1 are dropped, and 2020Q2 and 2020Q3 (pandemic swings of about −28 and +35 % SAAR) are set to missing. For the last origin: 314 − 151 − 2 = 161 observations (`n_analysed`). The ledger is in `out/exclusions.csv`; the same rules applied at every origin are listed in `out/exclusions_by_origin.csv`.\n- Data issues and how each was handled are listed in `data_issues`. They include the 2025-12-31 eighth origin (the 2025Q3 advance estimate was delayed by the federal shutdown) and revisions of past quarters between vintages.\n\n## Method\n- Naive: the forecast for h = 1 and h = 2 is the last value in the origin's vintage file.\n- Model (`model_name` = ar1_post1985; `model_description`): an AR(1) with intercept, estimated by OLS on the origin's vintage from 1985Q1 to the last published quarter, with 2020Q2 and 2020Q3 set to missing. Any lag pair that involves those quarters is dropped. The h = 2 forecast iterates the AR(1). I fixed this specification before computing any forecast errors (`out/state/log.md`) and did not tune it on the evaluation set. The method has no randomness (`random_seed` = null).\n- Targets are the quarters h = 1 and h = 2 after the vintage's last quarter. The actual for each target is its first-release value. Metrics are RMSE and MAE over the 8 origins per horizon, and relative improvement = 1 − RMSE_model / RMSE_naive.\n- Revision statistic: the mean of |current-vintage value − first release| over the 8 h = 1 target quarters (2024Q1–2025Q4).\n- Per-row forecasts are in `out/forecasts.csv` (32 rows).\n\n## Results\n| | h = 1 | h = 2 |\n|---|---|---|\n| RMSE naive | 2.010 (`rmse_naive_h1`) | 2.265 (`rmse_naive_h2`) |\n| MAE naive | 1.688 (`mae_naive_h1`) | 1.813 (`mae_naive_h2`) |\n| RMSE AR(1) | 1.484 (`rmse_model_h1`) | 1.398 (`rmse_model_h2`) |\n| MAE AR(1) | 1.233 (`mae_model_h1`) | 1.030 (`mae_model_h2`) |\n| 1 − RMSE ratio | 0.262 (`rel_improvement_rmse_h1`) | 0.383 (`rel_improvement_rmse_h2`) |\n\nUnits are percentage points of annualised growth.\n- In this sample the AR(1) has a lower RMSE than the naive forecast: 26 % lower at h = 1 and 38 % lower at h = 2. The AR(1) pulls forecasts toward its estimated post-1985 unconditional mean, c/(1 − φ) ≈ 1.77/(1 − 0.335) ≈ 2.7 % at the last origin (`supp_ar1_coefficients_by_origin`), and this helps most after unusual quarters, such as the −0.3 first release for 2025Q1 and the 4.3 for 2025Q3.\n- Mean forecast errors (actual − forecast) are small and negative for both models: naive −0.24 / −0.19 and AR(1) −0.34 / −0.33 at h = 1 / h = 2 (`supp_mean_error_*`).\n- The mean absolute revision from first release to the 2026-10-30 vintage for the h = 1 targets is 0.5625 pp (`mean_abs_revision_h1_targets`). That is roughly a third of the AR(1) h = 1 RMSE, so the first-release target itself carries non-trivial measurement noise.\n\n## Uncertainty\n- Each metric rests on only 8 forecast errors. The h = 2 errors also overlap in time with the h = 1 errors of the next origin.\n- A Diebold–Mariano test with the Harvey–Leybourne–Newbold small-sample correction, using squared-error loss (naive minus AR(1)), gives statistics of 1.49 at h = 1 (`supp_dm_hln_stat_h1`, two-sided p = 0.18, `supp_dm_hln_pvalue_two_sided_h1`) and 1.85 at h = 2 (`supp_dm_hln_stat_h2`, p = 0.11, `supp_dm_hln_pvalue_two_sided_h2`).\n- The AR(1) advantage is therefore not statistically significant at conventional levels. The asymptotic justification of the test is also weak with n = 8.\n- A single quarter can move the RMSEs substantially. 2025Q1 (−0.3) alone contributes a naive h = 1 squared error of 6.76 out of a total of 32.33.\n\n## Limitations and open issues\n- The evaluation window is short (2024Q1–2026Q1 targets). It includes an unusual negative first release for 2025Q1 (−0.3), so the results do not generalise to other periods.\n- I specified only one model. The 1985 sample start and the pandemic treatment are judgement calls made before evaluation; I did not run other specifications, so I cannot say how sensitive the results are to these choices.\n- Actuals are first releases, as the task requires. Against current-vintage values the ranking could differ; I did not evaluate this, because current values are not real-time information.\n- The origins are not equally spaced (the 2025-12-31 origin replaces 2025-10-31). The first-release grid in `first_release.csv` uses month-end vintages, so a \"first release\" is the advance estimate as it stood at that month-end.\n- `feasibility` = \"complete\": every required quantity was

US real GDP growth from data vintages\n\n## Question\nHow accurately could US quarterly real GDP growth (A191RL1Q225SBEA, % change q/q at a seasonally adjusted annual rate) have been forecast 1 and 2 quarters ahead using only the data published at each of 8 forecast origins (`first_origin` = 2024-01-31 to `last_origin` = 2025-12-31, `n_origins` = 8)? And does a simple time-series model beat the naive (last-value) forecast when both are scored against first-release values?\n\n## Data and exclusions\n- Inputs: 8 ALFRED vintage files (307–314 data rows each), `current_vintage.csv` (318 rows) and `first_release.csv` (13 rows). Row counts are in `n_input_rows`. All SHA-256 hashes match `data/README.md` (see `out/state/data_audit.md`). No missing values, duplicate dates or quarterly gaps.\n- Information rule: at each origin the forecasts use only the vintage file dated at that origin. `current_vintage.csv` is used only for the revision statistic. The code asserts that every target's first-release date is on or after the origin date.\n- Exclusions (model only; the naive forecast uses the full vintage): quarters before 1985Q1 are dropped, and 2020Q2 and 2020Q3 (pandemic swings of about −28 and +35 % SAAR) are set to missing. For the last origin: 314 − 151 − 2 = 161 observations (`n_analysed`). The ledger is in `out/exclusions.csv`; the same rules applied at every origin are listed in `out/exclusions_by_origin.csv`.\n- Data issues and how each was handled are listed in `data_issues`. They include the 2025-12-31 eighth origin (the 2025Q3 advance estimate was delayed by the federal shutdown) and revisions of past quarters between vintages.\n\n## Method\n- Naive: the forecast for h = 1 and h = 2 is the last value in the origin's vintage file.\n- Model (`model_name` = ar1_post1985; `model_description`): an AR(1) with intercept, estimated by OLS on the origin's vintage from 1985Q1 to the last published quarter, with 2020Q2 and 2020Q3 set to missing. Any lag pair that involves those quarters is dropped. The h = 2 forecast iterates the AR(1). I fixed this specification before computing any forecast errors (`out/state/log.md`) and did not tune it on the evaluation set. The method has no randomness (`random_seed` = null).\n- Targets are the quarters h = 1 and h = 2 after the vintage's last quarter. The actual for each target is its first-release value. Metrics are RMSE and MAE over the 8 origins per horizon, and relative improvement = 1 − RMSE_model / RMSE_naive.\n- Revision statistic: the mean of |current-vintage value − first release| over the 8 h = 1 target quarters (2024Q1–2025Q4).\n- Per-row forecasts are in `out/forecasts.csv` (32 rows).\n\n## Results\n| | h = 1 | h = 2 |\n|---|---|---|\n| RMSE naive | 2.010 (`rmse_naive_h1`) | 2.265 (`rmse_naive_h2`) |\n| MAE naive | 1.688 (`mae_naive_h1`) | 1.813 (`mae_naive_h2`) |\n| RMSE AR(1) | 1.484 (`rmse_model_h1`) | 1.398 (`rmse_model_h2`) |\n| MAE AR(1) | 1.233 (`mae_model_h1`) | 1.030 (`mae_model_h2`) |\n| 1 − RMSE ratio | 0.262 (`rel_improvement_rmse_h1`) | 0.383 (`rel_improvement_rmse_h2`) |\n\nUnits are percentage points of annualised growth.\n- In this sample the AR(1) has a lower RMSE than the naive forecast: 26 % lower at h = 1 and 38 % lower at h = 2. The AR(1) pulls forecasts toward its estimated post-1985 unconditional mean, c/(1 − φ) ≈ 1.77/(1 − 0.335) ≈ 2.7 % at the last origin (`supp_ar1_coefficients_by_origin`), and this helps most after unusual quarters, such as the −0.3 first release for 2025Q1 and the 4.3 for 2025Q3.\n- Mean forecast errors (actual − forecast) are small and negative for both models: naive −0.24 / −0.19 and AR(1) −0.34 / −0.33 at h = 1 / h = 2 (`supp_mean_error_*`).\n- The mean absolute revision from first release to the 2026-10-30 vintage for the h = 1 targets is 0.5625 pp (`mean_abs_revision_h1_targets`). That is roughly a third of the AR(1) h = 1 RMSE, so the first-release target itself carries non-trivial measurement noise.\n\n## Uncertainty\n- Each metric rests on only 8 forecast errors. The h = 2 errors also overlap in time with the h = 1 errors of the next origin.\n- A Diebold–Mariano test with the Harvey–Leybourne–Newbold small-sample correction, using squared-error loss (naive minus AR(1)), gives statistics of 1.49 at h = 1 (`supp_dm_hln_stat_h1`, two-sided p = 0.18, `supp_dm_hln_pvalue_two_sided_h1`) and 1.85 at h = 2 (`supp_dm_hln_stat_h2`, p = 0.11, `supp_dm_hln_pvalue_two_sided_h2`).\n- The AR(1) advantage is therefore not statistically significant at conventional levels. The asymptotic justification of the test is also weak with n = 8.\n- A single quarter can move the RMSEs substantially. 2025Q1 (−0.3) alone contributes a naive h = 1 squared error of 6.76 out of a total of 32.33.\n\n## Limitations and open issues\n- The evaluation window is short (2024Q1–2026Q1 targets). It includes an unusual negative first release for 2025Q1 (−0.3), so the results do not generalise to other periods.\n- I specified only one model. The 1985 sample start and the pandemic treatment are judgement calls made before evaluation; I did not run other specifications, so I cannot say how sensitive the results are to these choices.\n- Actuals are first releases, as the task requires. Against current-vintage values the ranking could differ; I did not evaluate this, because current values are not real-time information.\n- The origins are not equally spaced (the 2025-12-31 origin replaces 2025-10-31). The first-release grid in `first_release.csv` uses month-end vintages, so a \"first release\" is the advance estimate as it stood at that month-end.\n- `feasibility` = \"complete\": every required

The review is saved in `out/review/review.json`, which is valid JSON.\n\n**Checks:**\n- **Reproducibility:** I ran `out/analysis.py` on a scratch copy and the regenerated `results.json` and `forecasts.csv` are byte-identical to the submitted ones.\n- **Input data:** the SHA-256 hashes of all input files match `data/README.md`.\n- **Information rules:** the code respects them. Each origin uses only its own vintage file, and `current_vintage.csv` is used only for the revision statistic. Actuals are first-release values, and the code asserts that no actual was published before its origin.\n- **Required outputs:** every required key is present and `forecasts.csv` has the expected 32 rows. I recomputed the mean absolute revision (0.5625) by hand from the data files, and the 6.76 / 32.33 squared-error figures quoted in the report also check out.\n- **Claims:** the main claim is appropriately hedged. The AR(1) model has 26% lower RMSE than the naive forecast at one quarter ahead and 38% lower at two. The report correctly says this is not statistically significant: a small-sample-corrected Diebold–Mariano test gives p = 0.18 and 0.11. It also states its limitations honestly, including only 8 forecasts per horizon and a single untested model specification.\n\n**Minor issues:**\n1. **Training-sample count:** for the AR(1) rows, the `n_train` column (and `n_analysed`, 161 at the last origin) counts observations, but the regression actually used 159 lagged pairs. This should be stated.\n2. **Claim C5:** it calls the mean errors \"small\" and marks this as supported, but no bias test was run on 8 errors. It should be presented as descriptive only.\n3. **Error-concentration example:** the report uses 2025Q1 as its example of one quarter driving the naive forecast's error, but the 2025Q2 target contributes more (10.89 of 32.33). The example understates how concentrated the errors are."}],"container":null,"stop_reason":"end_turn","stop_sequence":null,"stop_details":null,"usage":{"input_tokens":2,"cache_creation_input_tokens":1152,"cache_read_input_tokens":21522,"output_tokens":718,"output_tokens_details":{"thinking_tokens":25},"server_tool_use":{"web_search_requests":0,"web_fetch_requests":0},"service_tier":"standard","cache_creation":{"ephemeral_1h_input_tokens":0,"ephemeral_5m_input_tokens":1152},"inference_geo":"global","iterations":[],"speed":"standard","fallback_credit":null},"input_transformations":[],"diagnostics":null,"context_management":null},"apiBlockIndex":1,"requestId":"req_011CgXnKR8m8jmqMDEe86N42","requestRef":"91122ce9-33e0-413d-88a8-7f8604bcf520","requestedModel":"claude-opus-5-5","type":"assistant","uuid":"22aa69c4-a50e-466e-a43c-04f3f4167170","timestamp":"2026-10-30T04:22:06.232Z","effort":"medium","perTurnEffort":"medium","userType":"external","entrypoint":"sdk-cli","cwd":"/Users/simon-pierreboucher/wp29/runs/RC0067","sessionId":"b3a4e9d8-a3ce-4fec-b1c0-6ee58b8537e1","version":"2.1.314","gitBranch":"HEAD"}47{"type":"last-prompt","lastPrompt":"Review","leafUuid":"22aa69c4-a50e-466e-a43c-04f3f4167170","sessionId":"b3a4e9d8-a3ce-4fec-b1c0-6ee58b8537e1"}48{"type":"cost-state","sessionId":"b3a4e9d8-a3ce-4fec-b1c0-6ee58b8537e1","totalCostUSD":0.21554220000000002,"totalAPIDuration":46357,"totalAPIDurationWithoutRetries":46351,"totalToolDuration":904,"totalLinesAdded":0,"totalLinesRemoved":0,"totalDuration":47442,"startTime":1793334078800,"modelUsage":{"claude-opus-5-5":{"inputTokens":14,"outputTokens":4787,"thinkingTokens":1260,"cacheReadInputTokens":69481,"cacheCreationInputTokens":21170,"cacheCreationEphemeral5mInputTokens":21170,"cacheCreationEphemeral1hInputTokens":0,"webSearchRequests":0,"costUSD":0.21554220000000002}},"hasUnknownModelCost":false}49
