What drives product descriptions cost

Catalogue-scale generation: modest output per item, multiplied across thousands of SKUs. Per-call price is small and total spend is set by catalogue size, which makes this a batch API workload almost by definition: descriptions are rarely needed within seconds. Shared brand and formatting context belongs in the cached prefix.

For Gemini 3.1 Pro specifically, that means output tokens cost 6.0x more than input, at $12.00 vs $2.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 500/1,500 token split, output accounts for 95% of the $0.0190 per-call cost.
