Share of 1.4B tokens. 2 models with traffic report no token counts and cannot be ranked here, including step-2-16k and stepfun-ai/step3 — they are in the request view.

The two views disagree on purpose: a model can take a large share of the calls and a small share of the tokens — many short requests — or the reverse. Which one matters depends on whether your cost is driven by call volume or by prompt length. Measured on AIHubMix over the last 30 days, counting the 5 model IDs listed on this page; traffic routed through upstream-specific IDs that are not in the public catalog is not included.

Prices are USD per million tokens; cache read and cache write are the rates for prompt-cache hits and for writing a prompt into the cache. Throughput and latency are measured on AIHubMix — the same figures the model detail page shows — not vendor claims. A dash means the catalog does not publish that field for that model, which is not the same as the model not supporting it.

StepFun on AIHubMix

Which StepFun model should I start with?

step-3.5-flash at $0.11/M input — the cheapest entry here that declares a token price, and it carries a 256K context. Move up to step-2-16k when answer quality matters more than cost.

Why are there several entries for the same model?

Because each row is a route you can call, not a model release. Some IDs name an upstream (azure-, alicloud-, cc-), some are the open-weight repository form (stepfun-ai/…), and some differ only in capitalisation, kept so older integrations keep working.

The catalog does not carry a field saying which of those a given row is, so this page does not sort them into buckets it would have to invent. Every row shows that route’s own price, context and speed — compare those directly, and open a model to see the upstreams that serve it.

How is cached input billed?

The Cache read column is the rate for input tokens served from the prompt cache — for example step-5-preview bills cache hits at 5% of the input rate and step-3.7-flash bills cache hits at 20% of the input rate. Cache write is the surcharge for putting a prompt into the cache in the first place, and only a few upstreams bill it separately. A dash in either column means the catalog carries no cache rate for that model, so plan on paying the full input rate.

Do I need a separate StepFun account?

No. One AIHubMix key covers every model on this page, and switching between them is a change to the model string — billing, rate limits, and logs stay in one place.
