Measurement technique

How to read this report

  1. 01Each row is a dated verified model record; later records can preserve subsequent price or availability changes.
  2. 02Prices are shown exactly as disclosed per million tokens and are not adjusted for caching, batching, or enterprise discounts.
  3. 03The chart is an observation history, not a claim that unchanged prices persisted between observations.
