What drives sentiment analysis cost

Short text in, a label or score out: the cheapest shape an API call can take. Output pricing is irrelevant at this size. Because these run in bulk over historical data as often as in real time, the batch API discount typically applies, and the effective rate lands well below list.

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 500/100 token split, output accounts for 29% of the $0.000700 per-call cost.
