What drives faq bot cost

The most bounded question-answering shape: a short question against a fixed knowledge base, with a short answer. Because the knowledge base never changes between calls, cache reads apply to nearly the entire input, and the effective cost per answer falls well below the list rate. A fast-tier model is usually sufficient when the answers are already written.

For Grok Build 0.1 specifically, that means output tokens cost 2.0x more than input, at $2.00 vs $1.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 1,500/800 token split, output accounts for 52% of the $0.003100 per-call cost.
