Usage examples

Context-rich RAG query
A single request sends 80,000 input tokens and receives 2,000 output tokens. Cost: (80,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.15) + (2,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.012 + $0.001 = $0.013.
High-volume data extraction
Processing 500,000 input tokens yields 5,000 output tokens. Cost: (500,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.15) + (5,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.075 + $0.0025 = $0.0775.
Creative writing burst
Sending 10,000 input tokens and generating 16,000 output tokens. Cost: (10,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.15) + (16,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.0015 + $0.008 = $0.0095.

We bill at $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens. Errors and refusals are free. Errors and refusals are free. This model eliminates the unpredictability of free tiers and the complexity of model routing.

Every request is a simple calculation: input tokens multiplied by $0.15 divided by 1,000,000, plus output tokens multiplied by $0.50 divided by 1,000,000. You pay only for the text that goes in and comes out.
