Cached-input pricing comes to Model APIs

Baseten pricing

Baseten adds discounted cached-input pricing to its multi-tenant Model APIs.

From Baseten's pricing timeline
Cached Input Pricing on Model APIs

Baseten added a dedicated Cache Input column to the Model APIs rate card — prompts re-using prefixes from prior requests within a session window are billed far below the standard input rate. This narrows the gap against first-party caching offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic.
