Price history
List price per 1M tokens since we started tracking in Jun 2026. The lines are flat because the price hasn't changed since then.
What it excels at
Supports 256k-token context and output windows, enabling processing of long documents and extended generation sequences at moderate cost.
The business tradeoff
Open-weights deployment creates variable latency and infrastructure overhead; output token pricing is disproportionately high relative to input.
