Generally, smaller\/faster models (like GPT-4o mini or Claude Haiku) cost less per token than larger flagship models (like GPT-4o or Claude Opus). Check our calculator for current rates across both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How many tokens fit in a context window?<\/strong><br>This depends on the model.
