Price from Novita: the cheapest offer that is serving, at standard delivery and at a declared precision that is not 4-bit (fp8), at its standard rate. The maker’s own precision is not known.
Cheaper right now: $0.304/M at DigitalOcean — precision not disclosed It does not pass the like-for-like test, so it never sets a rank.

Our take
editorial — not a measurementMaverick is an open-weight candidate for text and image workloads. Review the model’s community licence for the intended deployment rather than treating open weights as unrestricted permission. Hosted sellers can quote different rates and conditions; self-hosting needs its own capacity estimate. Compare task results before assuming that a newer family is a suitable replacement.
Strengths
- Open weights and a community-licence identifier are recorded
- Text and image input are listed
Weaknesses
- Check the output ceiling as well as the context window
- An unlisted cache-read rate does not prove caching is unsupported
Reach for it when
- Self-hosting evaluations within licence terms
- Text and image tasks with explicit output requirements
Avoid it if
- The licence does not cover the intended use
- The required output exceeds the recorded ceiling

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.
