Where these numbers come from
Read from OpenRouter's listing of Seed 1.6 every 6 hours into the catalog Founden's builders choose their models from. Prices are OpenRouter's listed price per million tokens: for a lab's closed models that is the lab's own list price, and for an open-weight model it is the price of the host OpenRouter routes to by default, which can differ from the lab's own API and from other hosts. US dollars, before batch, volume or regional discounts. Every model.
