alt Hacker NewsNo that's not right. It's 50b credits, not tokens. What is a credit? Nobody knows.
Someone did the math a few months ago and paying API prices was the same as the monthly subscription.

Now you know:
2.5 pro: 300/600 credits per input/output token
2.5: 100/200
Cached tokens are 2-3 credits.
If you only use pro, with a 7/1 ratio and no discounts or penalties the $6 plan gets you a total of 12M tokens. This assumes zero cached tokens thought.

Yep, roughly the same. If you max out the sub each month it’s roughly 20% cheaper if you also carefully use all their promotions.
I’ve thrown $50 at it, use UltraSpeed liberally and have yet to exhaust it.

To be fair while almost no company publishes what a "credit" or what a 5h window in their subscription plan really is in terms of input/cached input/output tokens, Xiaomi does: https://mimo.mi.com/docs/en-US/tokenplan/Token%20Plan/subscr...
