1 million tokens is roughly 750,000 English words. A chat answer is counted as 500 tokens in and 500 out. Prices are API prices in US dollars via OpenRouter; apps such as ChatGPT or Claude have their own subscriptions.
RAM estimate for a 4-bit (Q4) version of the open model. Models with many experts still need memory for all parameters.
Free models often have usage limits and some providers may use your prompts for training. Check the terms before you send anything private.
