Output is billed at a multiple of input on most models. The Out/In column is that multiple — it matters more than the input price once output dominates your bill.
Across 38 billable models the rate spans $0.125 (claude-3-haiku-20240307) to $7.5 (claude-3-opus-20240229) per million input tokens — a 60× spread. Picking the wrong tier is usually the single most expensive mistake here.
What Anthropic is good at
Claude is the default choice for agentic coding, long-context document work, and anything where instruction-following quality matters more than raw token cost.
