CAPABILITY CONTRACT

Published model behavior.

REASONING

supported

Only provider-documented reasoning controls are shown; missing controls remain unpublished rather than inferred.

INPUT

text + image + audio

Input modalities come from the cited official model documentation.

OUTPUT

text + audio

Output modality and output-limit claims remain separate so an undocumented token cap is not guessed.

PRICING STATUS

Official paid API.

$4.00 input · $0.40 cached · $24.00 output per 1 million TEXT tokens (audio/image separate).

SXF preserves the provider-published native billing basis. Only calculator-eligible generative token models enter token-cost arithmetic; specialist units and input-only embeddings remain visible without forced conversion.

CAVEATS

What the source record does not assume.

01

Displayed Standard token rates are TEXT ONLY: $4.00 input, $0.40 cached, and $24.00 output per 1M text tokens.

02

AUDIO Standard rates differ: $32.00 input, $0.40 cached input and $64.00 output per 1M audio tokens. IMAGE input is $5.00, cached $0.50 per 1M image tokens.

03

Mixed-modality realtime bills each modality separately; the generic text cost calculator must not be used to estimate full voice-session bills.

04

The model supports configurable reasoning effort, which can affect token usage and response latency.
