Models & Pricing

Last updated: August 2026

All models are accessible via a single API key. Pricing is pay-per-use with no monthly minimums.

Data Freshness

Model availability and pricing change frequently. The tables below are representative examples. Always use GET /v1/models for real-time, authoritative data. If a model appears here but returns model_not_found, it may have been deprecated or renamed.

LLM Models

All LLM models support chat and streaming by default. The Capabilities column below only lists additional differentiating features.

Pricing Rules

Base Pricing

• LLM: Input tokens and output tokens billed separately, per million tokens
• Image/Video/Audio: Flat per-generation price (no token counting)
• Embedding: Per million input tokens
• No monthly minimums, no commitments

Caching & Discounts

Some LLM providers offer prompt caching for repeated context:

Provider	Cache Write	Cache Read (savings)
Anthropic	1.25× input price	0.10× input price (90% off)
OpenAI	1× input price (free)	0.50× input price (50% off)
Google	1× input price	0.25× input price (75% off)

Caching is automatic when supported — SandBase passes through the provider's cache behavior. Check the usage field in responses for cache_read_input_tokens and cache_creation_input_tokens.
