Which answer would you actually use?
How cost, time and word counts work

Live cost is an estimate in US dollars from the provider’s real input/output usage, cached usage where reported, and the listed rates checked 2026-08-31. It is not an invoice; taxes, currency conversion and provider-account discounts are excluded. Time covers the full server-side model request. Word counts split visible text on spaces; billing uses tokens, which are different.

Samples have no measured latency or model usage. Their $0 means no inference was purchased, not that the selected model is free. Model Switch deltas appear only for two successful live answers.
