what's point of comparing token prices? especially for thinking models.
Just now I was testing the new Qwen3-thinking model. I've run the same prompt five times. The costs I got, sorted: 0.0143, 0.0288, 0.0321, 0.0389, 0.048 .
And this is for single model.
Also, in my experience, sonnet-4 is cheaper than gemini-2.5-pro, despite token costs being higher.
