This estimate uses normalized public API pricing per 1M tokens. It is a planning aid, not a billing quote. Verify provider pricing, limits, and terms before production use.
Quick Decision
both models tie on input price; GPT-6.1 Terra Pro (batch) has the lower output price; GPT-6.1 Terra Pro (batch) offers the larger context window. For the 1M input plus 500K output sample, GPT-6.1 Terra Pro (batch) is cheaper for the standard workload.
For a 1M input token plus 500K output token workload, the estimated API cost is $1.75 for GPT-6.1 Terra Pro (batch) and $2 for Seed-2.0-Code.
Choose GPT-6.1 Terra Pro (batch) when you care most about lower output-token price, and larger context window.
Choose Seed-2.0-Code when its provider, model quality, latency, or availability is more important than the numeric price/context winner.
