The cost seems to be using the wrong symbol: ¢ vs $

Nope, they're that cheap. E.g. Grok 4.5 is $.02 to $.06 per million tokens. A 400 token reply costs ~.002¢

Update: kibae above and below is correct and I'm not. They have fixed their blog post.

Grok 4.5 is $2/$6 there's no model anywhere close to that cheap

The numbers come from the tryai.dev link:

  How much does Grok 4.5 cost on TryAI?
  Grok 4.5 is Input: $0.02 / 1M tokens, Output: $0.06 / 1M tokens. There is no subscription — you pay only for what you use.

Slop pricing pages? https://www.tryai.dev/models/claude-fable-5 says Fable costs $0.1/$0.5. Can't wait to use it at those prices!

(edit: these have been fixed shortly after)

Those numbers are incorrect unless they got a deal that's 100x cheaper than API pricing which is unlikely. They updated the original post with the correct costs.
