Projected monthly cost

Llama 4 Maverick

Strong multi-modal (text + image) open-weight model with a 1M-token context window — good for self-hosted or fine-tuned deployments.

Smaller completion-token cap (16K) than newer commercial models limits very long single-turn outputs — chunk long generations.
