Input and output tokens are billed separately. A complete official input/output baseline is not currently recorded, so provider quotes are normalized per million tokens.
Which provider is cheapest for MiniMax M3?
The lowest recorded input price is $0.0500/1M tokens from Together AI; verify provider terms and the observation date before production use.
How do official and relay prices differ?
Official and relay channels can differ in price, latency, limits, and service terms; evaluate them separately for production traffic.
