## No independent quality score.

No benchmark we track has measured this model. That is not the same as measuring it and finding it wanting — we simply cannot rank it, so we do not.

### Every price dimension

| Input | $0.250 /M |
| --- | --- |
| Output | $1.50 /M |
| Cached input | $0.025 /M |
| Cache write | $0.083 /M |
| Reasoning | $1.50 /M |
| Web search | $0.014 /call |
| Batch discount | 50% |

**Reasoning tokens are billed separately** at $1.50/M, on top of output. On a reasoning-heavy workload this can be 40% of the bill and it does not appear in the advertised price.

### Independent scores

Sources are listed separately rather than averaged. Across the 62 models both have scored they correlate at r = 0.806 — close agreement overall, but four models rank very differently between them, and a blended score would hide exactly those.

### Capability

| Context window | 1.0M |
| --- | --- |
| Max output | 66K |
| Input modes | text, image, video, file, audio |
| Tool use | yes |
