Why did my Heavy request cost much more than Flash?

FAQUpdated

Two effects multiply:

  1. Higher price per token: Heavy output is $4.40 per 1M vs Flash's $3.40.
  2. More tokens: Heavy reasons before answering and writes longer answers. In Benchmark 2, median output per task was 204 tokens on Heavy vs 57 on Flash.

That's why cost per 1,000 benchmark tasks was $3.64 on Heavy vs $1.64 on Flash, more than double, even though the per-token price is only about 30% higher.
