Tokens you send to an AI model in an API call — your prompt, the context, attached documents. Billed separately from output tokens and usually much cheaper.

Tokens an AI model produces as its response. Billed separately and usually three to five times more expensive than input tokens because the model has to actively generate them.
Prompt caching is an API feature in which a provider stores recurring prompt prefixes — making subsequent requests cheaper and faster because the cached portion is not reprocessed.
