Compare Standard, Fast and Ultrafast costs for GPT-6.1 Sol and Astra ↗

Check model routes that disappeared from a catalog ↗

Data correction · nvidia/switchyard. OpenRouter corrected the previous free-service FAQ and clarified that context is the serving model’s limit. The routing page preserves unknown fixed prices and exact system identity.

Data correction · mistral-large-4-high. LiveBench revised six task values in the existing Large 4 high row. Today’s category scores use the corrected row; the October 7 download preserves its original values. This is a benchmark correction, not a new model release or effort sweep.

Data correction · @cf/cloudflare/clef-flash and @cf/cloudflare/clef. Current exact Workers AI pages correct stale profile facts: Flash is24,576tokens/$0.038input, and both Clef endpoints explicitly charge no output tokens. This is a source-backed correction to our data; a provider price-change date is unverified. Immutable prior downloads retain the old observation.

SAME SERVICE · PRICES CHECKED TWICE

What changed in the quoted price?

A service such as OpenRouter can change its price without the model maker changing its own price. These quotes show what we found on each date, per million tokens. Prompt length, time of use, the provider handling the request and other fees can affect your bill.

SAME TOKEN ASSUMPTIONS · DIFFERENT BILL

What would an upgrade cost?

Pick two models and enter your monthly usage. The estimate uses OpenRouter offers checked 2026-10-15.

Tokens are the pieces of text a model processes. Include charged thinking tokens in output. Caching reuses previously stored input, so those tokens are already part of your total input. This comparison uses the same counts for both models; actual usage, answer quality and caching can differ.

Monthly difference · B minus A$0

Same estimate with these token assumptions.

The same text can use more tokens with a new tokenizer. Haiku 5.5 counts about 30% more than Haiku 4.5 on average, so repeat this estimate with your measured usage. Excludes cache writes, retries, tool fees, image/audio-specific billing, hosting, taxes and service tiers. The caching estimate assumes your reusable input is already stored and qualifies for a discount. Rules differ by service. Only confirmed catalog prices for long prompts are included. A large input limit does not guarantee the model will use every detail correctly.

Check the quality separately

Claude Haiku 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Sonnet 5.5 have extra high and max results on the same LiveBench question set. Lower settings remain unmeasured in this dataset. Their dollar costs and durations are not published here.
