Quick start

Call Grok 4.6 with the OpenAI Python SDK pointed at api.x.ai:

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.x.ai/v1",
    api_key=os.environ["XAI_API_KEY"],
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="grok-4.6",
    max_tokens=600,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.007600 per call at standard rates
# Input:  $2.00/MTok
# Output: $6.00/MTok

What drives invoice parsing cost

Invoices are short, highly repetitive documents processed in bulk: the ideal batch API workload. Per-document cost is low; total cost is set by volume and by whether you are paying full rate for a job that could have run asynchronously overnight at a discount. The extraction schema is constant, so it should never be paying full input rate either.

For Grok 4.6 specifically, that means output tokens cost 3.0x more than input, at $6.00 vs $2.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 2,000/600 token split, output accounts for 47% of the $0.007600 per-call cost.

Prompt caching: 75% off input tokens

Caching drops input cost from $2.00 to $0.50/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.003000 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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Grok 4.6 cost for invoice parsing per API call?

A typical invoice parsing call using Grok 4.6 costs about $0.007600 per call. This estimate uses 2,000 input tokens and 600 output tokens at standard rates. Standard rates are $2.00 per million input tokens and $6.00 per million output tokens.

Is Grok 4.6 the best model for invoice parsing?

Our benchmark data does not yet include a invoice parsing ranking for Grok 4.6. We recommend testing it against your own evaluation criteria before production usage.

What is the cheapest model for invoice parsing with good quality?

The most affordable model for invoice parsing above 80/100 quality is GPT 5.6 Luna. It comes from GPT at $0.20 per million input tokens. Output costs $1.20 per million tokens with a quality score of 89/100. Switching from Grok 4.6 to GPT 5.6 Luna saves about 85% per API call.

How can I reduce my Grok 4.6 costs for invoice parsing?

Three strategies lower Grok 4.6 costs for this task type effectively. Prompt caching gives a 75% discount on input tokens when reusing system prompts. The batch API gives 50% off all tokens for asynchronous processing workloads. Prompt optimization reduces token counts through more concise instructions and context windows. Combining caching with batching brings your cost from $0.007600 to about $0.000950 per call.

How does Grok 4.6 pricing compare to other Grok models?

Grok has 3 other models alongside Grok 4.6 today: Grok 4.5 at $2.00/$6.00 per million tokens (flagship), Grok 4.3 at $1.25/$2.50 per million tokens (mid-tier), Grok Build 0.1 at $1.00/$2.00 per million tokens (fast / budget). The right choice depends on whether your invoice parsing workload prioritizes quality, cost, or speed.

What context window does Grok 4.6 support?

Grok 4.6 supports a context window of 500K tokens per API call. This sets the maximum combined length of your input prompt and generated response. For invoice parsing, typical calls use 2,000 input and 600 output tokens. That is well within this limit, leaving room for longer prompts or multi-turn conversations.
