LLM API Token Pricing

Name: LLM API Token Pricing
Creator: Silicon Analysts

Input/output token prices across frontier and open models, tracked over time — the $/token trend behind inference-cost economics.

Coverage window: 2026-07-01 → 2026-12-01 (12 rows; includes forward projections)
Computed from the backing series at page-render time — never typed by hand.
History honesty: Current-state table; the vintage of each value is its as_of. Time series accrues via the daily ledger and *_history tables, not here.
Cadence: Weekly — LLM token-pricing refresh runs Tuesdays 12:00 UTC; each row cites the provider's own pricing page, so a value only moves when a provider changes list prices.
Revision policy: Current-state table updated in place with as_of (vintage) and last_validated (confirmation). Prior values persist in the *_history audit tables and the daily ledger.

Known gaps: Prices are the providers' published list rates — enterprise agreements, committed-use and volume discounts are negotiated privately and cannot be observed by any public dataset. Coverage is deliberately flagship-only: the models each provider leads with (currently 12 models across 6 providers), not full catalogs; batch tiers, fine-tuning, and embedding prices are not covered. Every row carries its source URL and a multi-source consensus range; as_of moves only when a price actually changes, with a weekly agent watching for moves.
