At these rates
- A workload with 70% input and 30% output costs $0.7526 per 1 million total tokens and $75.26 per 100 million.
- At the same token count, output costs 1 times the input rate. Response length therefore deserves its own budget limit.
- Filling the 128,000-token context window with input alone would cost about $0.09633, before any output.
IBM lists a single pay-as-you-go figure for this model row; treat input and output at the same published rate and confirm the live table.
These figures use public list prices. Cache eligibility, batch or priority modes, long-context surcharges, discounts, and regional billing can change the invoice.
