Pricing

Pricing is based on the number of tokens used, or other metrics based on the model type. For tool-specific models, like search and computer use, there’s a fee per tool call. See details in the pricing page.

Cached input tokens are priced at 5% of the uncached input token rate.

Cache-write prices shown use 30-minute retention. Standard cache writes cost $1.25 per million tokens for 30-minute retention and $2.50 for 12-hour retention, before long-context adjustments.

Prompts with more than 272K input tokens are priced at 2x input and cache rates and 1.5x output for the full request.

Batch and Flex prices are 50% lower than Standard.

Regional processing adds a 10% premium where available.

Fast mode prices are 2x Standard.

Rate limits

Rate limits ensure fair and reliable access to the API by placing specific caps on requests, tokens, audio duration, or other usage within a given time period. Your usage tier determines how high these limits are set and automatically increases as you send more requests and spend more on the API.
