What reuse looks like here.
Pricing, context, and capabilities for Claude Sonnet 4.5 are live, but it is outside the flagship set Zumik benchmarks in depth, so measured reuse, capture, and warm TTFT are not shown yet. Run a workload estimate or route it by id to start collecting traces.
What you actually pay once caching works.
At a typical 55% prefix reuse, a million input tokens on Claude Sonnet 4.5 effectively costs $1.51 instead of $3.00 - blending to roughly $4.89 with a 25% output share. Background work drops a further 50% on the batch tier.
