Estimate cost
The source publishes one processed-token rate rather than separate input and output prices. The table below applies that single rate.
| Processed tokens | Total cost |
|---|---|
| 1,000,000 | $0.02 |
| 10,000,000 | $0.2 |
| 100,000,000 | $2.00 |
| 1,000,000,000 | $20.00 |
At these rates
- This item uses one $0.02 rate per 1 million processed tokens; the cited source does not publish a separate output rate.
- Filling the 8,192-token context window with input alone would cost about $0.000164, 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.
