You should probably look at the cost/score graph by effort level instead:

It is most of the pareto frontier.

Not disputing the increase in quality, just stating that non-cherry-picked benchmarks show it is more verbose at Max effort
so don't use it at max? The benchmarks suggest that high/xhigh are more than sufficient to be ahead and a whole magnitude below max with regards to token usage. I'd treat that as an outlier and not how verbose the model is in general (QED I know)
Is verboseness the only measure of token efficiency towards overall task completion?
