# LLM API Pricing

Per-token API prices for <!-- chat_models -->93<!-- /chat_models --> chat models and per-image, per-second and per-generation prices for <!-- media_models -->95<!-- /media_models --> image, video,
audio and 3D models. Each row puts the model developer's own list price next to the price on
[UplinkSwitch](https://uplinkswitch.ai), an OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API gateway.

Every value comes from the public catalog API at `https://api.uplinkswitch.com/v1/catalog` and
`/v1/catalog/media`. It's the same feed the gateway bills from, and it needs no key. The `snapshot_at` column
shows when each row was read. Every row links to the model's price page on uplinkswitch.ai (`model_url`), and
open-weight models also link to their official weights on the Hub (`weights_repo`).

## Configs

| Config | Rows | What one row is |
|---|---|---|
| `chat_models` (default) | <!-- chat_models -->93<!-- /chat_models --> | One chat model: list and UplinkSwitch prices per 1M input, cached-input and output tokens |
| `media_models` | <!-- media_rows -->258<!-- /media_rows --> | One price variant of an image, video, audio or 3D model (for example `resolution=2K`) |
| `chat_price_history` | <!-- history_rows -->351<!-- /history_rows --> | One chat model on one snapshot date (<!-- history_since -->2026-10-16<!-- /history_since --> onward) |

The raw catalog responses are in `raw/catalog.json` and `raw/catalog_media.json`.

## Load it

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

chat = load_dataset("uplinkswitch/llm-api-pricing", "chat_models", split="train").to_pandas()
media = load_dataset("uplinkswitch/llm-api-pricing", "media_models", split="train").to_pandas()
history = load_dataset("uplinkswitch/llm-api-pricing", "chat_price_history", split="train").to_pandas()

# Monthly cost of 50M input + 10M output tokens, list vs UplinkSwitch
chat["list_monthly"] = 50 * chat.list_input_usd_per_1m + 10 * chat.list_output_usd_per_1m
chat["uplink_monthly"] = 50 * chat.price_input_usd_per_1m + 10 * chat.price_output_usd_per_1m
print(chat.sort_values("uplink_monthly")[["display_name", "list_monthly", "uplink_monthly"]].head(20))
```

With pandas only:

```python
import pandas as pd
chat = pd.read_csv("hf://datasets/uplinkswitch/llm-api-pricing/data/chat_models.csv")
```

<!-- /examples -->

<!-- stats -->

In this snapshot, 76 of the 93 chat models have a published list price. The median UplinkSwitch output price is 58.5%
under list. Cached input costs more than list on five models (`deepseek-v4-flash-0731`, `deepseek-v4-pro-0813`,
`deepseek-v4.1-flash`, `gpt-6-luna`, `mimo-v2.6-pro`), so check the cache column if your workload is cache-heavy.

## How it's built

`scripts/build.py` reads the two catalog endpoints and writes every file in `data/` and `raw/`. It has no
dependencies beyond the Python standard library. Run `python scripts/build.py <out_dir>` to rebuild it yourself.
List prices are the model developers' own published per-token prices; the catalog stores them next to the
gateway price so the two can be compared row by row.

## Limitations

- Prices change. Trust `snapshot_at`, and for a live figure read the catalog API or
  [uplinkswitch.ai/models](https://uplinkswitch.ai/models).
- List prices are standard-tier, non-batch prices. Batch, priority, long-context and regional tiers aren't included.
- Open-weight fine-tunes and community models often have no developer list price, so their list columns are empty.
- Volume discounts (3% from 100M tokens, 6% from 1B, 10% from 10B per month) aren't applied in the price columns.

## Use the prices

The same key and base URL work with the OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs:

```python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.uplinkswitch.com/v1", api_key="sk-uplink-live-...")
reply = client.chat.completions.create(model="claude-opus-5-5", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "hi"}])
```
