What it costs
Price the whole answer.
Illustrative calculation at listed rates: a batch of 10 million input tokens and 1 million output tokens costs $26.00 on Mixtral 8x22B Instruct. A thousand requests of 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each costs $7.00. Calculation: input millions × input rate + output millions × output rate; it excludes reasoning tokens, retries, tools, tax and review time.
Compare cost per accepted result, not per token: replay the same work on two or three candidates and count the answers you would actually ship. Our model-routing approach sends each request to the cheapest model that passes.
