Example Costs
Let’s see how much will be for a 1000-word article:
- ≈1000 words with system prompts is less than 1500 tokens ≈ $0.000708 for input
- 500 tokens (hard upper limit for the summary) ≈ $0.00075 for output (maximum)
- So in total ≈ $0.001458 for a 1000-word article
This is what a 1000 words article look like:
Text in our user manual is about 1300 words. So the price of summarizing the user manual is $0.001827. Which means you need to summarize ~6 pages of that size to pay 1 cent.
