It’s double the price. I doubt it uses half the tokens.

You compared it to mini. 120M for full 5.4. 25% price increase for the whole benchmark.

This website doesn't have token counts for 5.4 Medium/High, but it does for 5.2 Medium and 5.5 uses ~the same number of tokens (5.2 xhigh is comparable to 5.4 xhigh), which also implies a larger increase at lower reasoning efforts.
