#api-pricing

xAI is turning Grok Build from a CLI-backed experience into a public API beta. The headline number is pricing: $1 per million input tokens and $2 per million output tokens for agentic coding workloads.

DeepSeek turned a temporary V4-Pro API discount into standard pricing, intensifying the cost race around frontier-class LLM access. The posted table cuts output pricing from $3.48 to $0.87 per million tokens.

Cache-hit pricing can decide whether long-context assistants are cheap enough to ship. DeepSeek said the entire API series now charges just one-tenth of the old rate for input cache hits, while keeping a 75% off V4-Pro promotion live.

An r/singularity post on March 13, 2026 highlighted Anthropic’s move to make 1M context generally available for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6, with standard per-token pricing, higher media limits, and automatic support in Claude Code tiers.
