This page lists, newest first, each model’s launch pricing and the price changes that followed. Launch entries show the model’s current unit price (earlier prices are in the corresponding “Price change” entries); retired models are kept and marked with their retirement date. Pricing changes apply only to calls made after the change takes effect; historical calls are unaffected. Each model’s live unit price is shown in the Models overview and the console “Model Market”; check each call’s cost fields and units against Request & Response Format and the relevant endpoint documentation.

Three DeepSeek V4 models repriced; the schedule drops from three tiers to twoThe schedule now matches the upstream settlement windows: daily 00:00–14:00 UTC is the peak tier and 14:00–24:00 UTC is the off-peak tier (Beijing time is UTC+8). The earlier split — weekdays 01:00–04:00 and 06:00–10:00 at peak, everything else cheaper — is no longer used. Rates per window (per 1M tokens, input / cache read / output):Every window goes up for all three models. Cache-hit rates rise the most, but stay well below the input rate of the same window. The full schedule is price_config.text_schedule on GET /v1/models, and it is the basis for settlement.
Pricing change
DeepSeek V4 Flash lowered to the new official priceDeepSeek has retired V4-Flash: deepseek-v4-flash requests are now served by V4.1-Flash and billed at the Flash price, so its time-of-day rates go down (per 1M tokens, input / cache read / output):deepseek-v4-pro is unchanged. The newly added deepseek-v4.1-flash is also priced by time of day; the full schedule is price_config.text_schedule on GET /v1/models.

Two audio prices cut; Kling 3.0 Turbo and Nano Banana Economy re-based on official list pricesEffective immediately; only calls made after the change are affected.
Pricing change
Reference-video billing realigned per vendor; gpt-image default quality; FLUX.2 reference images by MP tierCalls carrying a reference video used to be approximated as “output seconds × 2× the unit price”, which did not match how the upstreams actually charge. They are now billed per vendor, in four shapes:For Kling’s two *-motion-control models the reference video carries no separate charge; output duration equals the reference video’s duration, and 720P bills at the standard tier, 1080P at the professional tier.Price cuts in this batch: seedance-2.0 family with a reference video (480p $0.082 → $0.045 per second, other tiers reduced proportionally — the video-reference rate is below the text-to-video rate) and Kling motion-control at 720P.Two more changes:
  • gpt-image-2 without quality now generates and bills at low instead of high (gpt-image-1 / gpt-image-1.5 use medium), matching OpenAI’s own defaults — this is a price cut. Passing auto explicitly still bills at the top tier.
  • FLUX.2 reference images are charged by MP tier: with exactly one reference image the surcharge follows that image’s actual MP tier (1–4 MP); with two or more, each is charged at the 1 MP tier.
Effective immediately, for calls made after the change. Live prices are in Explore and the console’s Model Market; POST https://api.qingbo.ai/waveapi/quote with video_urls / image_urls returns an estimate.

whisper-1 price changewhisper-1: $0.0054 → $0.03 per minute (billed per second, rounded up). The upstream bills whisper-1 above OpenAI’s list price and we realign to cost; for cheaper transcription use gpt-4o-mini-transcribe ($0.0027/min) or gpt-4o-transcribe ($0.0054/min), both with better accuracy. Effective immediately.

FLUX.2 realigned to megapixel tiers; Seedream 5.0 Lite price changeFLUX.2 is billed upstream by megapixel (MP) tier. 1K (1024×1024 ≈ 1.05 MP) actually falls in the 2 MP tier; it had been priced at the 1 MP tier, and is realigned today:seedream-5.0-lite: $0.028286 → $0.035 per image (no upstream discount on the list price; adjusted per our pricing rule).seedream-4.5 no longer offers 1K (upstream only bills 2K / 4K); imagen-4.0 is delisted (upstream no longer serves it).

Image models: reference images now billed per imageFor the models below, reference images (image_urls) are now charged per image, matching the vendors’ official pricing (previously some models charged nothing and some charged an upper-bound tier):Cost per call = output tier price + number of reference images × unit price; calls without reference images are unaffected. Seedream 4.x / 5.0-lite, Qwen Image 2.0, Wan 2.7 Image and the Nano Banana family do not charge for reference images. Live prices are on Explore and in the console “Model Market”; POST https://api.qingbo.ai/waveapi/quote with image_urls returns an estimate.
