Opus 4.5 Token Breakdown
Developers have consumed 2.2B tokens through Opus 4.5, split between 5.0M input tokens (prompts, context, files) and 1.7M output tokens (generated code, explanations, edits).
Prompt caching has processed 154.6M cache creation tokens and 2.1B cache read tokens. Cache reads are significantly cheaper per token, reducing the effective cost for developers with repeated context.
The higher input-to-output ratio suggests developers send substantial context (files, documentation, error messages) along with their prompts..
How Much Does Opus 4.5 Cost for Coding?
Based on data from 15 developers, the average estimated Opus 4.5 usage cost is $138.35 per developer (all-time). The median is $46.94, reflecting the gap between occasional and heavy Opus 4.5 users.
Opus 4.5 accounts for 0.3% of total community spend across all 121 tracked models, ranking #13 by estimated cost. As a flagship model, it commands a higher per-token price, which means it can dominate cost share even when other models see more total requests.
