47 MTok = Million tokens. The "Base Input Tokens" column shows standard input pricing, the "5m Cache Writes", "1h Cache Writes", and "Cache Hits & Refreshes" columns are specific to [prompt caching](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#prompt-caching), and "Output Tokens" shows output pricing. See [prompt caching pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#prompt-caching) for an explanation of the cache columns and pricing multipliers.
48</Note>
44* **MTok:** Million tokens. $5 / MTok is $5 for every million tokens.
45* **5m cache writes:** Writing a prompt prefix to the 5-minute prompt cache.
46* **1h cache writes:** Writing a prompt prefix to the 1-hour prompt cache.
47* **Cache hits and refreshes:** Reading a prompt prefix from the prompt cache, which also refreshes it.
48* **Limited access:** Offered separately, by invitation only, as part of [Project Glasswing](https://anthropic.com/glasswing). For access, contact your Anthropic, AWS, or Google Cloud account team.

51 Claude 4.7 and later models and Claude Mythos Preview use a newer tokenizer that contributes to their improved performance on a wide range of tasks. This tokenizer produces approximately 30% more tokens for the same text. The exact increase depends on the content and workload shape. Claude Sonnet 4.6 and earlier models use the previous tokenizer.

237234When you use `tools`, the API also automatically includes a special system prompt for the model that enables tool use. The number of tool use tokens required for each model is listed in the following table (excluding the additional tokens listed earlier). Note that the table assumes at least 1 tool is provided. If no `tools` are provided, then a tool choice of `none` uses 0 additional system prompt tokens.
