What a typical workload costs
An app that sends 1,000 requests a day, each with a 2,000-token prompt and a 500-token answer, uses 60M input and 15M output tokens in 30 days. If 1,500 of those prompt tokens are the same system prompt and context every time, prompt caching bills 45M of them at the cached rate (cache writes and storage not included). Batch is the same traffic sent as asynchronous batch jobs.

| Mistral Small 4 | $18.00 | $11.93 | $9.00 |
