For Grok 2 Vision (tiktoken_cl100k tokenizer), 50,000 words is approximately 66,650 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 50,000 words as input costs $0.1333 (or $0.0333 with prompt caching). Generating 50,000 words as output costs $0.6665. 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 $0.0333). For non-urgent asynchronous batch processing, 24-hour batch queues provide a flat 50% discount across all tokens (costing $0.0667 for input, $0.3333 for output).
At an average human reading speed of 250 words per minute, 50,000 words takes approximately 200 minutes to read. In contrast, Grok 2 Vision can process or generate this text in seconds.
