USD, International deployment scope (Singapore region) on the international pricing page. Standard prices; the page notes limited-time promotions are excluded. Context-cache and explicit-cache rates are described on a separate page and were not captured; where the page flags a 50% batch discount it is noted here. Rates for other regions (China, Germany, US, Japan, Hong Kong) are not captured. Text-generation page says 256k context but the vision-model page says 32k, so no context is recorded.
