Processing or generating 100,000 words (approximately 133,300 tokens) with Yi-Lightning (01.AI) ranges from $0.004666 (cached input) to $0.0187 (full generation).
You send 100,000 words as prompt context, documentation, or background knowledge.
Yi-Lightning (01.AI) drafts a complete 100,000 words article, chapter, or code module.
80,000 words input prompt + 20,000 words output reply.

For Yi-Lightning (01.AI) (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 $0.0187 (or $0.004666 with prompt caching). Generating 100,000 words as output costs $0.0187. 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 $0.004666). For non-urgent asynchronous batch processing, 24-hour batch queues provide a flat 50% discount across all tokens (costing $0.009331 for input, $0.009331 for output).
At an average human reading speed of 250 words per minute, 100,000 words takes approximately 400 minutes to read. In contrast, Yi-Lightning (01.AI) can process or generate this text in seconds.
