Language prices are USD per million tokens; input and output are billed separately. Video samples use 5s of 768P output where verified. Extra tools, reasoning, cache writes, input media, storage, and taxes can change the total. (fast) marks a published median output speed above 150 tokens/s in the linked test settings.
