Token counts for price estimates

Includes reasoning tokens. Used only for price estimates; the same quantities apply to every setting.

Capability quality vs. AA workload cost

Cost per weighted AA v4.3 task, using measured tokens and collected prices. Includes reasoning and cache treatment. Reviewed fallback token fractions and fallback prices are included. Incomplete workloads and unresolved routing stay unpriced. This is not a universal task cost.

Costs: Artificial Analysis only. First-party or provider-median rates; endpoint and context tier unverified. Tool charges and hosting overhead excluded. Collected 2026-09-11. Prices expire for comparison after 30 days.
