Usage field details

Outside of standard Responses API output, Fugu Ultra returns usage fields that separate user-visible model work from orchestration work. Note that unlike OpenAI, even though the orchestration tokens are stored in token_details fields, they represent real token usage outside of the input and output tokens and will be counted in the final price of the request. The price will be the same as standard input and output tokens.
