By default, I use Sonnet 4.6, and if Sonnet 4.6 fails, I use Opus 4.7.

I played it. It was fun. I especially liked how the price was assessed immediately after the exchange, which made it easy to understand.

Is LLM generated every time? If so, I'm worried that the API usage fees must be quite high.

Yes. I once guided two Canadian friends on a tour of Japan, and even when it rained, they didn't use umbrellas (they didn't even own any). Instead, they used things like Arc'teryx waterproof parkas.

Japanese people love umbrellas and there are many related products. On the other hand, I've heard that people in North America hardly use umbrellas. Is that true?
