Model Watch: every model we track, and what it costs
One row per model from Alibaba, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google, Meta, Mistral, OpenAI and xAI. What it is, when it shipped, how big its context is and what a million tokens costs, taken from the labs' own documentation. Then every time the tracker has seen the name.

How to read this
Status we set by hand. Released means you can call it. Preview means you can call it and the lab reserves the right to change it. Announced means the lab has said it's coming. Rumoured means only other people are saying so.
Signals counts tracked posts and Reddit threads that name the model. It's how we decide which models are worth a page, and it's the first column that moves when something is about to happen.
Prices are list prices per million tokens from each lab's own docs. They skip caching and batch discounts, and a dash means the lab hasn't published a number. We'd rather leave it blank than guess.
Which models get their own page?
18 of them. A model earns a page when we've sourced at least 2 hard facts about it and the tracker has logged at least 3 mentions or threads. Below that there's nothing to say that this table doesn't already say, so we don't write a page nobody would want to read.
The other 43 sit here instead:
Qwen3.7-Plus
Alibaba · China · 1M tokens · $0.40 in, $1.60 out per 1M. The mid tier. Prompts over 256K tokens triple the input rate, so the sticker price only holds for short calls. Source.
0 signals, 4 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Qwen3.8-Max
Alibaba · China · 1M tokens · $2.00 in, $6.00 out per 1M. Alibaba's flagship, at a third of what Fable 5.1 costs. Prices are region-scoped: this is the Singapore column, and Beijing is cheaper again. Source.
0 signals, 4 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Qwen4
Alibaba · China. Alibaba has said the words out loud, in a Hugging Face README describing Qwen3.8-Flash-Next as a preview of the architecture behind Qwen4. That's the entire public record. Source.
0 signals, 1 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Claude Opus 4.5
Anthropic · US · released 24 November 2025 · 200K tokens · $5.00 in, $25.00 out per 1M. The last Opus before the million-token window. Same money as Opus 5 for a fifth of the context. Source.
0 signals, 5 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Claude Sonnet 4.5
Anthropic · US · released 29 September 2025 · 200K tokens · $3.00 in, $15.00 out per 1M. Costs more than Sonnet 5 and gives you less. It's here because a lot of production code still pins to it. Source.
0 signals, 5 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Claude Opus 5.1
Anthropic · US. There is no Opus 5.1. Opus 5 shipped in July and the 5.1 generation went out as Fable and Mythos, so this entry exists to catch the name if it ever turns up.
5 Reddit threads name it, the newest from 2 September 2026. They'll appear here in full once it clears the bar.
5 signals, 0 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Claude Opus 4.1
Anthropic · US · $15.00 in, $75.00 out per 1M. Retired on 5 August 2026. It survives on Bedrock and Google Cloud, and Anthropic dropped its context window off the docs when it went. Source.
2 signals, 3 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp
DeepSeek · China · released 21 August 2026 · 1M tokens · $0.44 in, $1.32 out per 1M. The multimodal one, and DeepSeek calls it experimental in its own release note. Priced like Flash. Source.
1 signal, 5 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Gemini 2.5 Pro
Google · US · 1,048,576 tokens · $1.25 in, $10.00 out per 1M. Last generation, still stable, and cheaper than the 3.1 Pro preview. Google's page gives a month rather than a release date. Source.
0 signals, 4 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Gemini 3.1 Deep Think
Google · US. It exists, it's in the Gemini app, and that's all Google will tell you. No API id and no price anywhere on their docs. Source.
0 signals, 1 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite
Google · US · released 7 May 2026 · 1,048,576 tokens · $0.25 in, $1.50 out per 1M. Cheaper than the 3.5 Lite that replaced it, and audio costs double the text rate. Worth knowing if your volume is text. Source.
0 signals, 5 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Gemini 3.5 Flash
Google · US · released 19 May 2026 · 1,048,576 tokens · $1.50 in, $9.00 out per 1M. Older and dearer than every Flash that followed it, because it never got the introductory rate. Move off it. Source.
2 signals, 5 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite
Google · US · released 21 July 2026 · 1,048,576 tokens · $0.30 in, $2.50 out per 1M. Thirty cents a million on a million-token window. The cheapest Gemini you can call that isn't a generation behind. Source.
0 signals, 5 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Gemini 3.8 Flash
Google · US · released 2 September 2026 · 1,048,576 tokens · $0.75 in, $3.75 out per 1M. Google's newest stable model, and it's a Flash. The price is introductory: it doubles on 1 January 2027, so budget for $1.50 in and $7.50 out. Source.
1 Reddit thread name it, the newest from 3 September 2026. They'll appear here in full once it clears the bar.
2 signals, 5 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Gemini 3 Flash Preview
Google · US · released 17 December 2025 · 1,048,576 tokens · $0.50 in, $3.00 out per 1M. The first Gemini 3 Flash, still sitting in preview while four stable ones shipped past it. Source.

Google · US · released 19 February 2026 · 1,048,576 tokens · $2.00 in, $12.00 out per 1M. The only Pro-tier Gemini you can call, and Google still labels it preview seven months in. Prompts over 200K tokens bill at double. Source.
0 signals, 5 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Gemini 3.5 Pro
Google · US. Google says "3.5 Pro coming soon" and nothing else. No id, no price, no date, and the Flash line has already run four versions past it. Source.
0 signals, 1 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Llama 4 Scout
Meta · US. The newest Llama, and it's from April 2025. Meta's docs quote a 10M context window without giving a token count, and there's no first-party price because the weights are the product. Source.
1 signal, 1 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Muse Glimmer
Meta · US · released 10 August 2026 · 131,072 tokens. Meta's open-weight agentic model, Apache 2.0, and the only Muse you can run yourself. Note the org: it's meta-models on Hugging Face, not meta-llama. Source.
1 Reddit thread name it, the newest from 26 August 2026. They'll appear here in full once it clears the bar.
1 signal, 3 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Muse Spark 1.1
Meta · US · released 9 July 2026 · 1,048,576 tokens · $1.25 in, $4.25 out per 1M. The first Muse Spark and the launch of Meta's own model API. It went out as a public preview and is priced the same as the two that followed. Source.
1 signal, 5 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Muse Spark 1.2
Meta · US · 1,048,576 tokens · $1.25 in, $4.25 out per 1M. Same price and window as 1.3. Meta never posted a launch date for it, only an evaluation follow-up in August, so we've left the date blank. Source.
0 signals, 4 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Muse Spark 1.3
Meta · US · released 2 September 2026 · 1,048,576 tokens · $1.25 in, $4.25 out per 1M. Meta's frontier model ships under Muse now, not Llama. A contributor tier drops the input price to ten cents a million if you qualify. Source.
2 Reddit threads name it, the newest from 2 September 2026. They'll appear here in full once it clears the bar.
2 signals, 5 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.

1 signal, 1 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Llama 5
Meta · US. There is no Llama 5. The meta-llama org on Hugging Face last published in November 2025, and Meta's 2026 open-weight release went out under a different org entirely.
0 signals, 0 of 5 specs sourced. A page needs 3 signals and 2 specs.
Codestral
Mistral · France · released 30 July 2025 · 128K tokens · $0.30 in, $0.90 out per 1M. The code model. It's a year old now and Mistral hasn't refreshed it since folding Devstral away. Source.

Ministral 3 14B
Mistral · France · released 2 December 2025 · 256K tokens · $0.20 in, $0.20 out per 1M. Input and output cost the same, which is unusual and makes it easy to budget for chatty workloads. Source.

Mistral Medium 3.5
Mistral · France · released 28 April 2026 · 256K tokens · $1.50 in, $7.50 out per 1M. Mistral's frontier model, and the weights are out under a modified MIT licence. The whole Magistral and Devstral lines were folded into this one. Source.

Leanstral 1.5
Mistral · France · released 30 June 2026 · 256K tokens · Free per 1M. Free while it's in preview, Apache 2.0, 256K in and 128K out. The catch is that a preview price is a preview price. Source.

GPT-5.1
OpenAI · US · released 13 November 2025 · 400K tokens · $1.25 in, $10.00 out per 1M. Cheaper than everything newer except the small models, and it's still the model OpenAI's own docs describe as best for coding. Read that as stale copy, not a recommendation. Source.

GPT-5.2
OpenAI · US · released 11 December 2025 · 400K tokens · $1.75 in, $14.00 out per 1M. December's flagship, still callable. Its chat variant was shut down in August; the base model wasn't. Source.

GPT-5.4 Mini
OpenAI · US · released 17 March 2026 · 400K tokens · $0.75 in, $4.50 out per 1M. The mid-size option on a 400K window. Luna undercuts it heavily, so read both prices before you pick. Source.

Grok Build 0.1
xAI · US · released 29 May 2026 · 256K tokens · $1.00 in, $2.00 out per 1M. The coding model, in public beta. The old grok-code-fast names are aliases onto this now. Source.

xAI · US. No Grok 5. xAI is still numbering inside 4.x, and the lab is a SpaceX subsidiary now, which may explain why the roadmap went quiet.
