1-ref +~$0.01. Blend accordingly; the pricing below uses **B200 costs** as
the conservative basis, so hybrid routing only improves your real margin.
### Pricing table (per video, 480p/SD baseline, t2v/i2v)
### Pricing — per output-second (the unit to reason in)
Margin means gross margin on price (price = cost ÷ (1 − margin)).
All prices are **$ per second of delivered video**. Margin means gross margin
on price (price = cost ÷ (1 − margin)). Note the honest wrinkle: our cost per
output-second RISES with clip length (compute is superlinear in frames), so a
truly flat per-second price quietly gives long clips a discount — the tables
show exact per-duration cost so you can decide flat vs tiered.
**Our cost per output-second (B200 bf16 basis), and price at each margin:**
| Tier | Clip | Cost/s | 0% | 15% | 25% | 50% | 70% |

**Hybrid-routing true cost** (≤480p/≤10 s jobs on 5090-bf16 workers):
480p drops to **$0.0059/s (5 s)** and **$0.0073/s (10 s)** — roughly 3×
cheaper than the B200 basis above. If you price from the B200 table and route
hybrid, realized margin is far above nominal (e.g. a "25 %" 480p price
carries ~77 % true margin on the 5090 share).
**Flat-rate menu option** (blended 60/25/15 duration mix, hybrid routing):
| Public flat price | True blended margin |
|---------------------|----------------------------------|
| SD 480p @ $0.02/s | ~50 % |
| SD 480p @ $0.03/s | ~67 % |
| HD 768p @ $0.10/s | ~20 % (HD stays on B200 — price HD at $0.13–0.17/s for 40–50 %) |
| Draft 352p @ $0.01/s | ~0 % on B200, ~60 % if drafts route to 5090s |
