Price summary

0.75×input + 0.25×output (factual)

Specifications
Capability
Capability values are the published per-model score from Open LLM Leaderboard (Hugging Face), shown as-is with no edit and no “best” verdict. The leaderboard evaluates open-weight models only and lags the newest releases, so many models (including closed/proprietary APIs) have no value and show “—”. Different benchmarks rank models differently; treat this as one signal among many. As of 2026-05-25. Open LLM Leaderboard (Hugging Face) (Apache-2.0).
