What it costs at realistic volumes
Assuming a 4:1 input:output token ratio, a common shape for chat and RAG-style workloads:
| Volume (4:1 in:out ratio) | Input cost | Output cost | Total / month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000,000 in / 250,000 out | $2.00 | $2.00 | $4.00 |
| 10,000,000 in / 2,500,000 out | $20.00 | $20.00 | $40.00 |
| 100,000,000 in / 25,000,000 out | $200.00 | $200.00 | $400.00 |
