A request with 10,000 input tokens and 2,000 output tokens costs about $0.06 before caching or batch discounts. The API model name is claude-sonnet-4-6, and the context window is 1M tokens. Anthropic’s current Claude Sonnet 5.5 runs the same request for about $0.04, so moving up a generation lowers the bill.
