How to Choose an AI Model
Frontier models (Claude Opus 4, GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5 Pro) deliver the best reasoning and accuracy. Best for complex tasks, research, and agentic workflows.
Efficient models (Claude Sonnet 4, GPT-4o, Gemini 1.5 Pro) hit the sweet spot of performance and cost. Ideal for most production applications.
Economy models (Claude Haiku 4, GPT-4o mini, Gemini 2.0 Flash) minimize cost for high-volume, latency-sensitive tasks like classification and extraction.
Understanding AI API Pricing
AI APIs charge per 1 million tokens. A token is roughly 4 characters or ¾ of a word. Input tokens (your prompts) and output tokens (model responses) are priced separately — output typically costs 3-5x more.
Prompt caching can reduce input costs by up to 90% for repeated system prompts (supported by Anthropic and OpenAI).
