Processing or generating 100,000 words (approximately 133,300 tokens) with Groq LPU — Llama 4 Scout ranges from $0.007332 (cached input) to $0.0453 (full generation).
Quick answer
For 100,000 words, Groq LPU — Llama 4 Scout processes approximately 133,300 tokens. That costs $0.0147 as uncached input, $0.007332 with the modeled cache discount, or $0.0453 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 100,000 words as prompt context, documentation, or background knowledge.

For Groq LPU — Llama 4 Scout (tiktoken_cl100k tokenizer), 100,000 words is approximately 133,300 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 100,000 words as input costs $0.0147 (or $0.007332 with prompt caching). Generating 100,000 words as output costs $0.0453. 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 $0.007332). For non-urgent asynchronous batch processing, 24-hour batch queues provide a flat 50% discount across all tokens (costing $0.007332 for input, $0.0227 for output).
At an average human reading speed of 250 words per minute, 100,000 words takes approximately 400 minutes to read. In contrast, Groq LPU — Llama 4 Scout can process or generate this text in seconds.
