What drives blog writing cost

The most output-heavy use case tracked here. A brief of a few hundred tokens produces an article of several thousand, so output pricing is essentially the entire cost and input rate is noise. Generating section by section rather than whole-article gives you more control over both quality and spend, at the cost of more calls.

For Gemini 2.5 Computer Use specifically, that means output tokens cost 8.0x more than input, at $10.00 vs $1.25 per MTok. At this use case’s 1,000/8,000 token split, output accounts for 98% of the $0.0813 per-call cost.

Prompt caching: 0% off input tokens

Caching drops input cost from $1.25 to $1.25/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.0000 per call.

Batch API: 50% off all tokens

Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.
