At these rates
- A workload with 70% input and 30% output costs $1.65 per 1 million total tokens and $165.00 per 100 million.
- At the same token count, output costs 5 times the input rate. Response length therefore deserves its own budget limit.
- Filling the 1,000,000-token context window with input alone would cost about $0.75, before any output.
- Cached input is $0.075 per million, 90% below standard input when the workload meets the provider’s cache rules.
Standard paid rates of $0.75 / $3.75 per 1M apply through 2026-12-31, then $1.50 / $7.50.
These figures use public list prices. Cache eligibility, batch or priority modes, long-context surcharges, discounts, and regional billing can change the invoice.
