Shipped: Know what you actually pay per token on OpenAI

Sep 14, 2026 By Kevin Lamb In CloudZero
Picture two teams running the same million input tokens through the same model. One team’s tokens are cache hits, queued through the batch API. The other team’s are fresh, sent live. On a current-generation OpenAI model, cached input runs about a tenth the price of a fresh token, and batch processing cuts whatever’s left in half. Stack the two: at a list rate of $2 per million tokens, one team’s bill comes to 10 cents, the other’s to two dollars.

How is the SaaS Market Performing in 2026?

Sep 14, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Software as a Service (SaaS) dominates corporate technology purchases in 2026. The cloud powers communications, finance, customer management, analytics, cybersecurity, HR, and more.
