Usage examples
Heavy coding session with long context
You send 80,000 input tokens and receive 2,000 output tokens. The cost is (80,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.15) + (2,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.012 + $0.001 = $0.013. You pay exactly $0.013 for that request.
Standard uncensored chat
A user sends 1,000 input tokens and gets 500 output tokens. Cost calculation: (1,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.15) + (500 / 1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.00015 + $0.00025 = $0.0004. Total cost: $0.0004.
High-volume streaming for data processing
You process 500,000 input tokens and generate 10,000 output tokens. Cost: (500,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.15) + (10,000 / 1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.075 + $0.005 = $0.08. You pay $0.08.
Pay only for what you use
Every token counts toward your balance. We charge $0.15 per 1M input tokens and $0.50 per 1M output tokens. Errors and refusals cost nothing. You never pay for downtime.
