Each file should be represented by at least three API requests, one to upload the file, one or more to check whether it's done, and one to download it. Together with the other calls of their API, I'd guess a files-to-API request ratio in the order of 1:10 rather than 1:1.

Looking at their website they support file uploads and API. They probably count those separately.

The numbers make sense to me, because I assume an API is used for high volume processing by other businesses and manual upload of files is done by individuals

They may have been inaccurate in their description, but that's what happens when regular people write articles and not scientists, engineers or LLM

You don't care whether an article that ends up on HN front page contains legit information?
