I don't believe Cerebras has a cached input pricing? They don't list one on the model page:

edit: See the sibling discussion,
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49554520#49555094 ("Input tokens, whether served from the cache or processed fresh, are billed at the standard input token rate")
lol yeah just saw that, yeah that makes it unusable I think at least for me.
I wonder if they will do that with sol ultrafast!
They have cache, but it costs the same indeed, no idea what the point of the cache is
They don't have cache (e.g. KV cache). But they write down what you sent earlier to say they cached it! To still bill the same as uncached later (because they didn't actually cache it)!
More precisely they can't cache it.
Yes. Their architecture recomputes every time so at 150k context every request will have to spend 1.5 min waiting for the model to reread the context.
Say avg model response length is 1024 tok. At 50 tok/s normal providers do your turn will only take 20s (vs Cerebras 101s) and will cost 20x less. That time and cost is per single tool call.
