Does the cost per task drop by 75%? Not exactly

I want to understand those savings. Did the price of each token drop by seventy-five percent? Not exactly. And that difference is one of the key points of the announcement. The rate depends on the size of the request. For requests of up to one hundred thousand tokens, Haiku 5.5’s input and output prices are ninety percent lower than Haiku 4.5’s: ten cents per million input tokens and fifty cents per million output tokens. If the request exceeds that threshold, the reduction compared with the previous model is fifty percent. Is a token a word? Not necessarily. It is a unit into which the system divides text to process it and charge for its use. Input tokens are what we send it; output tokens are what it responds with. That is why a lower rate does not always translate into the same savings per task.
