> 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.

## Endpoint and price matrix

Every published price component, including cache reads and writes.

| Output / 1M tokens | Unavailable | Unavailable · source benchlm:pricing |
| Cache read / 1M tokens | Unavailable | Unavailable · source benchlm:pricing |
| Cache write / 1M tokens | Unavailable | Unavailable · source openrouter:pricing |
| Blended / 1M (75% input / 25% output) | Unavailable | Derived — from the input and output rates above; it has no source record of its own |
| Cost per successful task (LiveBench) | Unavailable | Fetch failed · source livebench:table |

**Self-hosted listing.** MIT-licensed weights are available for self-hosting. Zero token rates represent self-hosted use; hardware, storage, and serving costs still apply. The official model card publishes no hosted API token tariff for this checkpoint. Output is a set of token embeddings, not generated text. No hosted token rate was published for this model, so its per-token price is unavailable rather than zero.

## 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 | Unavailable |
| Modelled tokens | Unavailable |
| Reason | The applicable input rate is unavailable. |

## Lifecycle and limitations log

Lifecycle events the source associates with this model.

No lifecycle event references this model. That is not evidence the model has no lifecycle plan — only that this source published none.

## What this profile does not claim

Values are reproduced exactly as their sources published them, in the units those sources declared; none are converted, interpolated, or averaged across providers. Any field marked unavailable was attempted and not returned. Last attempted fetch for this model's score: 2026-10-23 13:17 UTC.
