Worked on the UKGovernmentBEIS/inspect_ai repository to enhance the accuracy of token usage metrics for the Google Gemini provider. Addressed a bug where cached tokens were double-counted by refining the token counting logic, specifically subtracting cached content token counts from input tokens and surfacing this as input_tokens_cache_read. This adjustment brought Gemini’s metrics in line with OpenAI and Anthropic conventions, improving the reliability of usage dashboards and billing reports. The work involved backend development and API integration using Python, with a focus on metrics instrumentation, unit testing, and maintaining code quality through conventional commits and thorough documentation for maintainability.
April 2026 monthly summary for UKGovernmentBEIS/inspect_ai: Token counting accuracy improvement for Google Gemini provider; fixed double-counting of cached tokens and aligned token usage metrics with OpenAI/Anthropic conventions. Major bug fix: Gemini's prompt_token_count included the cached prefix, causing input_tokens to double-count cache hits. Implemented subtracting cached_content_token_count from input_tokens and surfacing it as input_tokens_cache_read. This change reduces telemetry discrepancies, improves reporting accuracy for usage dashboards, and enhances billing precision. Impact: more reliable analytics, better decision-making for provider usage and cost; Maintained code quality with conventional commits and clear documentation. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python code changes, metrics instrumentation, provider integration, git workflows, and cross-provider metric normalization.
