> Every figure below is reproduced as its upstream source published it: nothing is modelled, estimated, interpolated or converted. `Unavailable` means no source published the value — it is never a zero. Each value carries its evidence state and the date it was observed.

## Capability evidence

Seven axes from the ranking source. An axis the source did not score is unavailable, not zero.

## Runtime service evidence

Measured values with the date they were observed. Nothing is inferred from a sibling model or a provider claim. Regional or per-endpoint measurements appear only when the API supplies them; none are modelled.

**Self-hosted listing.** Perplexity lists $0.02 per million input tokens for pplx-decider-v1-27b, free output tokens, and no per-request fee. State, questions, and images all count toward input usage. This is a typed-decision endpoint, so compare cost per completed decision as well as the token rate. Open weights are separately available under Apache 2.0; these prices are for the hosted Perplexity API, not local GPU costs. Since October 16, 2026, requests that name pplx-decider-v1-27b run pplx-decider-v1.2 and bill at $0.02. The rates above are a hosted price matched from another provider, not a first-party list price.

## Workload-aware monthly cost example

10 conversations per day × 8 messages × 22 active days, 1200 input and 400 output tokens per message, no cache. Derived here from the published rates above by this site's own calculator — not a figure any source published.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Modelled monthly cost | $0.0422 |
| Modelled tokens | 2.82M |

## Benchmark record
