Source & methodologyPrice fields come from linked official provider pages. The blended unit price is derived from one disclosed input, cache, and output mix. Workflow efficiency uses independent Terminal-Bench v2.1 pass@1 and cost-per-task evidence, projected over the selected attempt volume. It is not a provider quota or a universal production acceptance rate.Learn more
