10% off right now. The provider is running a promotion, and the developer API bills what the provider actually charged for your call plus our flat markup, so it reaches your bill with nothing to claim. The “from” figure is the cheapest endpoint serving the model; which one answers is the provider’s routing decision, so treat it as a floor. Promotions can end at any time.

At the developer-API rate, before any provider promotion or prompt-cache saving. In the app, the model picker shows what a message costs on your plan before you send it.
