Traps

Named ways a headline price stops being the price. Each page is a definition, a computation, and the offender table — or an explicit we cannot say. We will not invent a ninth trap without a computation, and we will not print a tokenizer-tax percent.

  • Context cliff computed· 60

    Every published context-tier step function. Ladders keep every rung.

  • Reasoning meter computed· 29

    Separately billed reasoning tokens. The headline input/output pair is incomplete.

  • Cache-write penalty we cannot say

    The lean catalogue carries cached-input rates, not a cache-write tariff, so a break-even cannot be computed here.

  • Credit cliff we cannot say

    Included-pool exhaustion is a plan fact. This page will not guess a mid-month revert to API without a measured pool in the catalogue projection.

  • Silent truncation we cannot say

    No catalogue field records a hidden context cap (the ChatGPT Free Instant 27K claim is not in this payload). We will not guess.

  • Alias drift computed· 18

    *-latest is a moving SKU. The pointer is recorded; we do not freeze a vendor alias as a model.

  • Precision bait computed· 84

    Distinct sellers, not rows. A cheaper lower-quant endpoint is a trade, not a saving. See /spreads/.

  • Tokenizer tax refused

    The cross-vendor tokenizer-inflation figure is unverified in this repo. This page exists to refuse a percent until a public corpus exists. We will not print one.
