Processing or generating 1,000 words (approximately 1,333 tokens) with Databricks DBRX Instruct ranges from $0.0002 (cached input) to $0.002399 (full generation).
You send 1,000 words as prompt context, documentation, or background knowledge.
Databricks DBRX Instruct drafts a complete 1,000 words article, chapter, or code module.
800 words input prompt + 200 words output reply.

For Databricks DBRX Instruct (tiktoken_cl100k tokenizer), 1,000 words is approximately 1,333 tokens (an average ratio of 1.33 tokens per word in English). Code, technical vocabulary, and non-English scripts will have higher token densities.
Sending 1,000 words as input costs $0.0008 (or $0.0002 with prompt caching). Generating 1,000 words as output costs $0.002399. Output tokens are more expensive because autoregressive token generation requires significantly more computation per token.
Yes! If your input text is part of a repeated context, prompt caching saves 50% to 90% (costing $0.0002). For non-urgent asynchronous batch processing, 24-hour batch queues provide a flat 50% discount across all tokens (costing $0.0004 for input, $0.0012 for output).
At an average human reading speed of 250 words per minute, 1,000 words takes approximately 4 minutes to read. In contrast, Databricks DBRX Instruct can process or generate this text in seconds.
