Prompt caching: 90% off input tokens

Caching drops input cost from $5.00 to $0.50/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.0113 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.
