What it costs in practice
| Workload | List price | If input is cached |
|---|---|---|
| One request: 10,000 tokens in, 1,000 out | $0.015 | $0.0060 |
| A month of that request, 100 times a day | $45.00 | $18.00 |
| A 3,000-token instruction file on 100 requests a day, for a month | $9.00 | $0.900 |
The last row is the always-on cost of an instruction file like CLAUDE.md: paid on every request, whether the task needs it or not. Check how much of yours is waste.
