Processing or generating 500,000 words (approximately 666,500 tokens) with NVIDIA Nemotron-4 340B ranges from $0.2499 (cached input) to $1.999 (full generation).
Quick answer
For 500,000 words, NVIDIA Nemotron-4 340B processes approximately 666,500 tokens. That costs $0.9997 as uncached input, $0.2499 with the modeled cache discount, or $1.999 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 500,000 words as prompt context, documentation, or background knowledge.

For NVIDIA Nemotron-4 340B (tiktoken_cl100k tokenizer), 500,000 words is approximately 666,500 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 500,000 words as input costs $0.9997 (or $0.2499 with prompt caching). Generating 500,000 words as output costs $1.999. 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 $0.2499). For non-urgent asynchronous batch processing, 24-hour batch queues provide a flat 50% discount across all tokens (costing $0.4999 for input, $0.9997 for output).
At an average human reading speed of 250 words per minute, 500,000 words takes approximately 2000 minutes to read. In contrast, NVIDIA Nemotron-4 340B can process or generate this text in seconds.
