Key facts
- Input price
- $3.00 / 1M tokens
- Output price
- $15.00 / 1M tokens
- Context window
- 1M tokens
- Max output

Example: 1,000 requests with 1,000 input and 500 output tokens each would cost about $10.50 (1M input tokens × $3.00 + 0.5M output tokens × $15.00). Estimate your own usage.
Prices are the provider’s own per-token rates with zero markup, from our price list as of Oct 18, 2026. If a call has extra provider charges (images, audio, web search, cached prompts), you pay the reported cost.
