Our take
editorial — not a measurementFor scheduled or cache-heavy work, confirm the selected seller’s billing rules before estimating savings. A hosted listing does not establish another endpoint’s time-of-day tariff. The accepted record lists open weights, but deployment still needs a licence and hardware review. Use the current price table and proof for supported measurements, and confirm the tariff with the endpoint you intend to use.
Strengths
- Open weights are recorded
- Text input, tool use and cached-input pricing are listed
Weaknesses
- Time-of-day terms must be established for the actual endpoint
- A missing licence detail needs investigation before self-hosting
Reach for it when
- Cache-heavy text workload evaluations
- Self-hosting assessments with a verified licence
Avoid it if
- Your savings calculation relies on an unverified schedule discount
- You require multimodal input

The verdict as one SVG, for a README or a docs page. It states this model's dominance status at the balanced workload on the LMArena lens, with the date it was computed, and it is rebuilt with the catalogue — so it changes when the verdict changes, including to one you would rather it did not.
