How this price is scoped: Sakana AI Token Plan (pay-as-you-go) list price, per 1M tokens, read on the vendor's own console pricing page (input $0.95, cached input $0.15, output $4.00) and corroborated by Sakana's product page sakana.ai/namazu/ at the same figures; OpenRouter matches exactly. Unlike the tracked Fugu Ultra row the published Namazu rate is FLAT — Sakana lists no context tier for it. Billing is per token only and Namazu is excluded from Sakana's subscription plans. The built-in tools are billed outside the token rate ($7.00 per 1,000 web-search calls, $0.12 per hour of code execution) and are therefore not part of the tracked per-token price.
