Processing or generating 10,000 words (approximately 13,330 tokens) with Groq LPU — Llama 4 Scout ranges from $0.000733 (cached input) to $0.004532 (full generation).
Quick answer
For 10,000 words, Groq LPU — Llama 4 Scout processes approximately 13,330 tokens. That costs $0.001466 as uncached input, $0.000733 with the modeled cache discount, or $0.004532 when generated as output.
Method & trust
The estimate converts the selected English word count with the model tokenizer family, then applies the published input/output price per million tokens. Real prompts vary with code, formatting, language, and system instructions.
You send 10,000 words as prompt context, documentation, or background knowledge.
Groq LPU — Llama 4 Scout drafts a complete 10,000 words article, chapter, or code module.
8,000 words input prompt + 2,000 words output reply.

For Groq LPU — Llama 4 Scout (tiktoken_cl100k tokenizer), 10,000 words is approximately 13,330 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 10,000 words as input costs $0.001466 (or $0.000733 with prompt caching). Generating 10,000 words as output costs $0.004532. 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 $0.000733). For non-urgent asynchronous batch processing, 24-hour batch queues provide a flat 50% discount across all tokens (costing $0.000733 for input, $0.002266 for output).
At an average human reading speed of 250 words per minute, 10,000 words takes approximately 40 minutes to read. In contrast, Groq LPU — Llama 4 Scout can process or generate this text in seconds.
