Just to add context (no pun intended), OpenAI also charge differently based on context usage with GPT 5.5 being $5/30 below 200K, and $10/45 above.

Anthropic have a fixed price regardless of context usage.

These per-token pricing schemes aren't directly comparable though since these models all use different numbers of tokens, even for input (Anthropic's recent tokenizer change generates 30% more tokens for exact same input), as well as for reasoning, and context/token usage also varies wildly by harness with Claude Code using 3x the context/tokens of Pi.
