How it compares

  • Input price ($5.00 per 1M tokens) is the 29th lowest of 30 models in the catalogue.
  • Output price ($25.00 per 1M tokens) is the 29th lowest of 30.
  • Context window (1M tokens) is the 12th largest of 30.
  • Maximum output (128K tokens) is the 7th largest of 30.
  • On blended price it is 25% more expensive than the median Anthropic model in the catalogue.

These are rankings by listed price and size within this catalogue (blended price weights input 3:1 against output), not a measure of output quality.

Cheaper models with the same capabilities

Lower blended price, at least the same context window, and the same input types and function calling.

llmtools is a vendor-neutral toolkit for working with large language models — token counting, cost estimation and model comparison, computed in your browser. OpenAI token counts are exact, using the same encoding the model does (o200k_base for GPT-4o, cl100k_base for GPT-4/3.5); Claude and Gemini counts are labelled approximations, since neither publishes a tokenizer that runs client-side. Model pricing is read from OpenRouter’s public catalogue once a day. Nothing you type is ever transmitted anywhere.
