Output limits
The longest single response each of 80 tracked models can return, largest first, with the equivalent word count and what a full-length answer costs at list price.
Limits from the AI Gateway catalog on October 10, 2026; prices are the live list price. Words assume 0.75 words per token.

Full response = max output tokens × output price, a ceiling at list rates. Models without a published output limit are not listed.
It is the longest single response a model will return in one request, measured in tokens (about 0.75 English words each). It is separate from the context window: the context window is how much the model can read, including your prompt; the max output is how much it can write back at once. If you need more than the limit, you continue in a follow-up turn.
Muse Spark 1.3 (Meta) has the largest maximum output of the 80 models tracked here: 1.0M tokens per response, roughly 786,432 words. 46 models can return 128K tokens or more in one response.
Among models that can return at least 64K tokens in one response, Mistral Nemo has the lowest output price at $0.03/1M tokens. A maximum-length 131k tokens response costs about $0.004 at list price. Long outputs are billed on output tokens, which are usually several times the input rate.
Output tokens × output price. For Muse Spark 1.3, a full 1.0M tokens response costs about $4.46 at $4.25/1M. The table above shows the same figure for every model; it is a ceiling, since most responses stop well short of the limit.
Models end a response when they judge it complete, when your request sets a lower limit (max_tokens), or when the context window fills up because a long prompt plus a long answer must fit together. The published maximum is what the API allows, not what the model usually produces. If you need a long document, ask for it in sections.
GPT-4 Turbo has the smallest published maximum on this page at 4k tokens per response. Smaller limits are common on older or speed-focused models and are fine for chat, classification, and short drafts.
