💡 Prompt + context tokens sent to the model. 300M ≈ a small production chatbot (~10M input tokens/day).

M to

💡 Generated response tokens — the pricier side. Output is typically 20-40% of input volume.

Pick the same model in both rate selectors. GPT-OSS-120B is the only production model; Gemma 4 31B is Preview (evaluation only). ZAI-GLM-4.7 was removed from the public rate card as of 2026-08-26, consistent with its disclosed 2026-08-17 deprecation date — it now lives only on Dedicated Endpoints custom pricing.

Output tokens cost more than input on both public rate-card models.

Cerebras pricing — frequently asked questions

How much does Cerebras Inference cost per million tokens?

The public Cerebras rate card lists two models as of August 2026: GPT-OSS-120B at $0.35 input/$0.75 output per million tokens (production) and Google Deepmind Gemma 4 31B at $0.99 input/$1.49 output (Preview). ZAI-GLM-4.7, previously listed at $2.25 input/$2.75 output, was removed from the public card on its disclosed deprecation date of August 17, 2026. Preview models are intended for evaluation only, so GPT-OSS-120B is the only public model sanctioned for production. Other models such as Llama 3.3 70B, Qwen3-32B, and now the Z.AI GLM family are available via Dedicated Endpoints on custom pricing rather than the public rate card.

Does Cerebras offer a free tier for the inference API?

No longer. As of July 21, 2026 Cerebras replaced its open free tier with a Free Trial that grants $5 in one-time credits after you create an account, with access to all Cerebras-powered models and Discord support. The docs add two conditions the pricing page leaves out: the credits are granted only after you add a verified payment method (adding one is free), and they expire 30 days after they are granted. That $5 is worth roughly 14 million input tokens on GPT-OSS-120B, and it does not renew. Past the trial, the self-serve Developer tier starts at just $10 and offers 10x higher rate limits and higher-priority processing; the Enterprise tier (contact sales) adds custom weights, dedicated queue priority, and guaranteed uptime.

How fast is Cerebras inference compared to GPU-based providers?

Cerebras Inference delivers 1,000–2,100 tokens per second on Llama 3.1 70B-class models, compared to 40–80 tokens/second on GPU-based providers like Together AI or Fireworks AI. The speed advantage comes from the on-chip SRAM of the WSE eliminating GPU memory bandwidth bottlenecks.

What models are available on Cerebras Inference?

As of August 2026, the public Cerebras per-token rate card lists just GPT-OSS-120B (production) and Google Deepmind Gemma 4 31B (Preview) — ZAI-GLM-4.7 was removed from the card on its disclosed August 17, 2026 deprecation date. A much wider catalog — including Llama 3.3 70B, Llama 4 Maverick and Scout, Qwen3-32B and Qwen3-235B, Qwen3-Coder, Mistral, DeepSeek, Kimi K2.x, and Z.AI's GLM 4.X/5.X families (including the former GLM-4.7) — is available through Dedicated Endpoints on reserved-capacity custom pricing. The catalog focuses on open-source models that benefit most from Cerebras's speed advantage.

Is this Cerebras pricing calculator free and accurate?

Yes — it's completely free with no signup. It uses the latest publicly available Cerebras pricing (verified August 2026). Actual costs may vary with volume discounts or enterprise terms — always confirm on Cerebras's official pricing page.
