Cost per task

Estimated mean inference cost per task at published serving rates. Paths follow models from H1 to H3; Grok 4.6 and Claude Opus 5 are H3-only runs.

Grok 4.6 is estimated at $0.84/task and Claude Opus 5 at $1.02/task. For each of 150 trajectories, the estimate reconstructs every model turn, cumulative context, newly added context, output, and prefix-cache reuse; token counts are approximated from serialized trace text. Published rates are then applied: Grok $2/$0.50/$6 and Opus $5/$0.50/$25 per million uncached input/cached input/output tokens. Treat these as directional rather than billing-grade figures.
