Claude Sonnet 4.6
Claude Sonnet 4.6 by Anthropic: $3 input and $15 output per 1M tokens, 1M context. Call it through the odnoga LLM gateway.
Claude Sonnet 4.6 is served by Anthropic and called through odnoga with the same OpenAI-compatible request shape as every other model in the catalog. It accepts images alongside text. It supports tool and function calling. Its 1M-token context window sets how much input you can send in one request. Cached input is billed at $0.3 per 1M tokens, so repeated prefixes cost less.

Vendor cost is the list price per million tokens as recorded in the odnoga catalog; your price applies your plan margin with the same formula that bills every request — see pricing. Pricing
Call it through odnoga
const res = await fetch("https://api.odnoga.com/v1/chat/completions", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ODNOGA_API_KEY}`,

body: JSON.stringify({

Same request shape for every vendor in the catalog — swap the model id and odnoga handles keys, routing, limits and cost accounting.
How to use Claude Sonnet 4.6
Derived from the odnoga catalog record for this model.
Best for
- High-volume, latency-sensitive calls: classification, extraction, routing, short rewrites and summaries.
- Work that mixes images with text — screenshots, scanned documents, charts, product photos.
- Agents and workflows that call your own functions, because the model supports tool calling.
- Long inputs: a 1M-token window fits whole contracts, codebases or transcripts in one request.
- User-facing chat where partial output should appear while the model is still writing.
Not the right pick when
- Pipelines that require guaranteed JSON — parse defensively or pick a model with enforced JSON.
- Anything where a wrong answer is costly without a human check — no model in the catalog removes that requirement.
Practical tips through odnoga
- 01Pin the model id in a managed prompt version, so a model swap is a version change you can compare and roll back, not an edit in application code.
- 02Compare it against 2–8 other models on the same frozen test cases in the evaluation laboratory before you make it the production default.
- 03Keep the stable part of your prompt at the front: cached input is billed at $0.3 per 1M tokens instead of $3.
- 04For repeated identical deterministic calls, odnoga answer reuse returns the stored answer and bills no vendor tokens — turn it off for creative output.
- 05Set a fallback model on the route so a vendor incident degrades quality instead of returning an error, and a per-tenant budget so one caller cannot spend the month.
What a month costs
1,000 calls a month, 10,000 input tokens and 2,000 output tokens each, at your Free price (vendor cost +7%):
| Input (10M tokens) | $32.26 |
|---|---|
| Output (2M tokens) | $32.26 |
| Your cost per month on Free | $64.52 |
Vendor list cost $60.00 + odnoga margin $4.52 (+7%). Cached input or answer reuse lowers it; odnoga records both numbers per request.

Questions
- How much does Claude Sonnet 4.6 cost per 1M tokens?
- Anthropic lists $3 / $15 per 1M input / output tokens in the odnoga catalog. Through odnoga you pay that vendor price plus your plan margin, and every request is recorded with both numbers.
- What is Claude Sonnet 4.6 best for?
- High-volume, latency-sensitive calls: classification, extraction, routing, short rewrites and summaries. Work that mixes images with text — screenshots, scanned documents, charts, product photos. Agents and workflows that call your own functions, because the model supports tool calling.
- Can I switch to Claude Sonnet 4.6 without changing my code?
- Yes. odnoga exposes one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so switching means sending "claude-sonnet-4-6" as the model id — or changing it in the managed prompt version, with no application deploy.
- How large is the Claude Sonnet 4.6 context window?
- 1M tokens of input, with up to 128K tokens of output per response.
