# Inference Pricing

> Lilac offers pay-per-token inference pricing with no minimums or contracts. See per-model rates for input and output tokens powered by idle GPUs.

Lilac uses simple per-token pricing. You pay only for what you use — no contracts, no minimums, no reserved capacity fees.

## How It Works

Lilac routes your inference requests to idle enterprise GPUs. Because these GPUs are already powered on and paid for by their owners, we can offer inference at significantly lower prices than dedicated cloud providers.

## Current Pricing

| Model      | Input             | Cache Read        | Output            |
| ---------- | ----------------- | ----------------- | ----------------- |
| Kimi K2.6  | \$0.70 / M tokens | \$0.20 / M tokens | \$3.50 / M tokens |
| GLM 5.2    | \$0.90 / M tokens | \$0.27 / M tokens | \$3.00 / M tokens |
| Gemma 4    | \$0.11 / M tokens | —                 | \$0.35 / M tokens |
| MiniMax M3 | \$0.28 / M tokens | \$0.05 / M tokens | \$1.10 / M tokens |

<Tip>
  Pricing is per million tokens. A typical chat message is 50–200 tokens.

### Cache read pricing

When repeated input tokens (such as system prompts or shared context) are served from cache, they're billed at the **cache read** rate instead of the standard input rate. Cache read pricing only applies to models that support cached input tokens — models without cache support are marked with `—` and bill all input tokens at the standard input rate.
