Processing or generating 500 words (approximately 667 tokens) with Cohere Command R+ ranges from $0.000417 (cached input) to $0.00667 (full generation).
You send 500 words as prompt context, documentation, or background knowledge.
Cohere Command R+ drafts a complete 500 words article, chapter, or code module.
400 words input prompt + 100 words output reply.

For Cohere Command R+ (cohere_bpe tokenizer), 500 words is approximately 667 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 500 words as input costs $0.001668 (or $0.000417 with prompt caching). Generating 500 words as output costs $0.00667. 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 $0.000417). For non-urgent asynchronous batch processing, 24-hour batch queues provide a flat 50% discount across all tokens (costing $0.000834 for input, $0.003335 for output).
At an average human reading speed of 250 words per minute, 500 words takes approximately 2 minutes to read. In contrast, Cohere Command R+ can process or generate this text in seconds.
