I regularly hit 200-300M cached reads every day on some of the models I use. It has exceeded 7-800M on a couple of occasions. At $0.04/M, that is $8-12 per day only for cached reads.
Unless you meant step-3.7-flash, the input cache hits are $0.05 per mil for step-5-preview.
> $8-12 per day only for cached reads
Pretty decent "API" rates for ~500M+ tokens on Step Fun 5, a Kimi K3 / GLM 5.3 level model?
Their "Step Plan" is ridiculous, by comparison: ~$60 usage on $6.99/mo; ~$220 on $9.99/mo. <a href="https://platform.stepfun.ai/docs/en/step-plan/overview" rel="nofollow">https://platform.stepfun.ai/docs/en/step-plan/overview
