What drives resume parsing cost

Resumes are longer than invoices and less uniformly structured, so input runs higher while output stays compact. Like invoice parsing this is a bulk, latency-tolerant workload where the batch API discount applies to the entire request. The parsing instructions are identical across every candidate, which puts them squarely in the cached prefix.

For Claude Opus 5 specifically, that means output tokens cost 5.0x more than input, at $25.00 vs $5.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 2,500/800 token split, output accounts for 62% of the $0.0325 per-call cost.
