What are the context window and maximum output for Doubao Seed 2.1 Lite?

The catalog context window is 1,024,000 tokens and the maximum output is 256,000 tokens. These are separate limits, and a request must also satisfy the upstream constraints in effect when it is processed.

Cache read: Wokey lists $0.0115 per 1M tokens and the official reference is $0.023 per 1M tokens. Cache write: the vendor does not publish a separate meter, so Wokey also shows — as the public price.

How does calling Doubao Seed 2.1 Lite through Wokey differ from OpenRouter?

Wokey lists Doubao Seed 2.1 Lite at $0.0575 input / $0.194062 output per 1M tokens, against an official reference of $0.115 / $0.388125. OpenRouter states it adds no markup on inference and charges its fee when you buy credits (5.5% by card).
