What that means

A worked example

Per-token pricing is hard to feel. Take a moderately chatty production workload: 100 calls a day, roughly 10,000 tokens in and 2,000 out each time. On Qwen 3.8 27B that comes to about:

$33 / month

Before caching, batching or volume discounts, all of which move this number a long way. Illustrative only.
