The true cost of the price increase for agentic coding.

Discussion

Since the new price increases are not uniform across input/output/cached, we need to look at the typical token split for coding agents to determine the average price increase. Luckily Opencode publishes data on the typical token split per request.

Let's do the math.

###V4 Flash

Average request: 790 input, 280 output, 68,000 cached.

Old price cost per 1000 requests: $0.3794

New off-peak price cost per 1000 requests: $0.8346

###V4 Pro

Average request: 750 input, 290 output, 82,000 cached.

Old price cost per 1000 requests: $0.8758

New off-peak price cost per 1000 requests: $2.8732

###Comparison Table

Here's a table that compares new prices to old baseline.

        | V4 Flash | V4 Pro

---------|----------|---------- Old price | 1x | 1x New off-peak price | 2.2x | 3.28x New peak price | 4.4x | 6.56x
