Blended $/MTok explained
A single effective per-million-token price across a mix of input, output, and cache tokens.
Why it matters for cost
It weights each token type by its real rate, so heavy cache reuse lowers the blended figure well under output price.
How JP the Cat surfaces it
JP the Cat reads the real token counts behind this from the local logs on your Mac and prices them at the shipped rates — so it shows up in your actual cost, not an estimate.
