What it costs in practice

Pricing per million tokens doesn't mean anything to anyone, so I convert it to three tasks that people actually give to models. The usage assumptions are listed for each row so you can verify them.

TaskInputOutputCost
1500-word articlebrief plus finished text in English 1,500 tokens 2,200 tokens $0.0005
100 chat queries700 tokens per question and 400 per answer 70,000 tokens 40,000 tokens $0.01
Hour of work with an agentagent reads repository and writes fixes 250,000 tokens 30,000 tokens $0.02
The calculation does not include tax, intermediary markup, or context caching, which with repeated prompts can cut input costs by several dozen percent.
