Best cheap models for high-volume work, priced per thousand calls

Six models, one task, one number: what a thousand calls cost when each sends 4,000 tokens in and gets 800 back. The cheapest row is $1.76 and the most expensive is $16.00, a nine-fold spread rather than the hundred-fold spread the category implies. Two things move the ranking more than the headline price does, and one of them has a date on it.

Best AI video generators, priced per second

Three ways to buy generated video in August 2026: per second through an API, as monthly credits with every model in one place, or as credits tuned for iteration. The same ten-second 1080p clip costs anywhere from $0.80 to $7.00 depending on which door you walk through.
