Price receipt

We read StepFun's own pricing page on and found step-3.5-flash listed with a price on the same row — that read is where the number above comes from, recorded as a new model. We keep the page text we read; its content hash is ca8a14ccf4.

Overview

StepFun's text-only Flash reasoning model, a 196B-parameter sparse MoE with 11B active per token and a 256K-token context, built for fast tool calling and multi-step agent tasks. StepFun released the weights under Apache 2.0 and sells it on its own Open Platform, alongside an agent-tuned snapshot, step-3.5-flash-2603, at the same rate. $0.10/$0.30 per 1M tokens.
