At these rates
- A workload with 70% input and 30% output costs $0.7049 per 1 million total tokens and $70.49 per 100 million.
- At the same token count, output costs 4 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 $0.371, before any output.
These figures use public list prices. Cache eligibility, batch or priority modes, long-context surcharges, discounts, and regional billing can change the invoice.
