Only the base tier and only per-token prices are shown. Batch, discounted and cached rates, as well as prices per image or per second of video, do not go into this table: they cannot stand in the same column as a price per million tokens.

The date in the last column is the day this price first entered our collection. The price may well be older: before that day we simply were not recording it. It has not changed since — otherwise a new row with a new date would stand in its place.
