These examples use the 2026-10-10 input and output prices. Cache discounts, provider surcharges and tool fees are excluded.
| Workload | Input | Output | Estimated cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quick test | 20,000 | 5,000 | $0.013 |
| Product chat month | 500,000 | 125,000 | $0.338 |

Strengths
- ✓ $0.30 in / $1.50 out per million with a 192K window
- ✓ Text and image input, positioned for enterprise agent workflows
- ✓ The catalogue description names strict tool schemas, which is the part enterprise stacks check first
Limitations
- ! 192K context is the smallest of the frontier rows in this hub
- ! 64,000-token output ceiling
- ! It replaces Command A, which is still in this hub at $2.50 / $10 — the older row costs eight times more per input token

- Run five real tasks from your product, not generic demo prompts.
- Record token usage, latency and output quality.
- Estimate cost using your real input/output mix.
- Compare it against one model with a similar price and one stronger model.
