These models understand video you send them — they are not video generators. Text-to-video models (Sora, Veo, Grok Imagine) are a separate class and are excluded so the price comparison stays like-for-like. Video input is usually billed by sampling frames into image tokens; the figures shown are the model’s standard token rates, so confirm the per-second/per-frame cost on the provider’s pricing page before budgeting.

LLMs with video input
Which LLMs accept video input?
We track 13 generally-available models that accept video input, across 4 providers — from Amazon Nova Lite (Amazon) at the low end to the flagships from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and others. The full, filterable list is on this page, ranked by blended price. Prices come from official provider documentation and are refreshed daily.
What is the cheapest video model?
Amazon Nova Lite (Amazon) is the cheapest generally-available model we track that can watch, at $0.06 per 1M input tokens and $0.24 per 1M output tokens — a blended $0.105 per 1M. Cheapest on paper is not always best: check the quality, latency and rate limits before committing.
Do these models generate video?
No. This page lists models that accept video as input — video understanding, such as summarising a clip, answering questions about footage or reading text from a frame. Text-to-video generators (Sora, Veo, Grok Imagine) are a separate class and are excluded here so the comparison stays like-for-like on token price.
Is the cheapest video-capable model good enough for production?
Not always. Price is only one axis — quality, latency, rate limits and reliability matter just as much, and the cheapest model on paper can cost more once you account for retries or larger prompts. Use this ranking to build a shortlist, then test the top few on your own workload before committing.
