IBM watsonx API pricing
30 IBM watsonx models: text, speech to text, from price book 2026-10-22.
Billing rules Veqen applies
- Token models: cached input at the cache-read rate, cache writes at the write rate; batch and service tiers at their own rates where published; long-context rates once the full prompt passes the threshold.
- Audio models: per second of audio or per character of text, or per token where the model bills tokens.
Also recognized as: ibm.watsonx.ai (framework, gateway and OpenTelemetry names).
