Base text-token rates exclude other modalities, tools, caching, retries and any hosting-specific charges. Check actual usage before comparing cost per successful task.

Consider it for

  • Turning small source packets into structured summaries
  • Delegating one bounded read-only step in a larger workflow

Watch for

  • Replacing a task evaluation with a low-price assumption
  • Giving a subagent authority to send or purchase

PRACTICAL EXERCISE / NOT RUN BY ENTERPRISE DNA

Try the model on a small, checkable task.

Read this stock note: item P has 12 on hand, 4 allocated and reorder point 10. Return available units and whether available stock is below the point; do not place an order.

Check the result: It returns 8 available and below=true without ordering or using on-hand as available.

How to evaluate a model for your work →

FROM SPECIFICATIONS TO YOUR WORK

Is this the right model for your job?

Start with a realistic sample. These workflows match the model’s listed capabilities, not a verified result on your task.

Extract document dataWorkflow & starter prompt ↗Run a reliable agentWorkflow & starter prompt ↗

What would it cost?

Pick a common job and how many times a month you run it. Token sizes are our assumption for a typical run, shown under the result.

Working out the cost...

Token prices only. Per-request, image, tool, storage and subscription fees are not included. One token is about three quarters of an English word. Real counts vary by model and language. How tokens are counted ↗

Check the source

Price date: 7 Nov 2026, from OpenRouter models API. Prices are USD API token rates. Your app subscription, uploads, browsing and tools are separate.
