Cheapest viable option: GPT 5.6 Luna at $0.001460/call (64% less, 89/100 quality).

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 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 2,500/800 token split, output accounts for 39% of the $0.004100 per-call cost.

Prompt caching: 80% off input tokens

Caching drops input cost from $1.00 to $0.20/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.002000 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 Build 0.1 cost for resume parsing per API call?

A typical resume parsing call using Grok Build 0.1 costs about $0.004100 per call. This estimate uses 2,500 input tokens and 800 output tokens at standard rates. Standard rates are $1.00 per million input tokens and $2.00 per million output tokens.

Is Grok Build 0.1 the best model for resume parsing?

Our benchmark data does not yet include a resume parsing ranking for Grok Build 0.1. We recommend testing it against your own evaluation criteria before production usage.

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

The most affordable model for resume 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 Build 0.1 to GPT 5.6 Luna saves about 64% per API call.

How can I reduce my Grok Build 0.1 costs for resume parsing?

Three strategies lower Grok Build 0.1 costs for this task type effectively. Prompt caching gives a 80% 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 $0.004100 to about $0.000410 per call.

How does Grok Build 0.1 pricing compare to other Grok models?

Grok has 3 other models alongside Grok Build 0.1 today: Grok 4.6 at $2.00/$6.00 per million tokens (flagship), 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). The right choice depends on whether your resume parsing workload prioritizes quality, cost, or speed.

What context window does Grok Build 0.1 support?

Grok Build 0.1 supports a context window of 256K tokens per API call. This sets the maximum combined length of your input prompt and generated response. For resume parsing, typical calls use 2,500 input and 800 output tokens. That is well within this limit, leaving room for longer prompts or multi-turn conversations.
