Pricing

Prices in USD per 1M tokens.

Input$2.39
Cached Input$0.24
Output$11.99

Example task: Synthesize several long source documents

Assume 80,000 aggregate input tokens and 6,000 billable output tokens across all calls. No cache hit.

80,000 × $2.39 / 1M + 6,000 × $11.99 / 1M = $0.263140

If usage actually reports 60,000 of those input tokens as cached, replace that portion at the cached-input rate ($0.24/1M): $0.134140. Cached tokens are part of total input, never added on top.

Illustrative calculation using the October 9, 2026 catalog snapshot, not a measured bill or promised task size. Live rates above may differ. Include every agent call and retry, repeated history and billable reasoning output; settle against actual usage and Console records.

Known limits and verification scope

  • The snapshot output rate is $11.99 per 1M tokens. Set a bounded answer budget and inspect reasoning usage; long agent replies can dominate cost. Vision is catalog-listed, not validated here.
  • Catalog context: 1,048,576 tokens. Input and requested output share the context budget; this is not a measured usable boundary.
  • The context and capability flags describe the public catalog. They do not establish a particular tool workflow or a quality score.
  • Start with one representative task. Check correctness, actual usage and response time before increasing traffic.
  • This page has no recorded end-to-end tool validation for this model. The integration examples let you run and record your own check.

Verified parameters and open questions

Parameter / protocol fieldEvidence status
model / messagesRequest example only; not live-verified for this model
tools / tool_calls / tool messagesCatalog lists tool calling; argument and result cycle unverified

A catalog capability flag is not a tested parameter value. Omit optional controls until checked with your exact model ID; an HTTP 200 alone does not prove the option took effect.
