It's not marketed that way but that is my experience. With 20% cache hits I'm averaging around $0.8/million input tokens and $4/million output tokens.

Do you use them for code generation? I am simply using copilot as $10/mo is a reasonable budget...but quick guesses based on my use, would put code generation via an API at potentially $10/day?
