How we count
Prices are per million input tokens; an embedding model writes no output, so there is no blend. A price below DigitalOcean Gradient's own is listed as cheapest only when the provider says why. Alibaba Cloud trained Qwen3 Embedding 0.6B and sells it on no catalog we read, so the price every row is measured against is DigitalOcean Gradient's.
- Runs it themselves
- The provider runs the open weights on hardware of its own, so the price is its own rather than a resale.
- Resells
- The provider sells another company's endpoint, at a margin of its own or at the maker's price.
- Same as maker
- Sold by someone else at the price the maker charges.
- Costs more
- Sold by someone else for more than the maker charges.
- Not ranked
- Below the maker's price on a closed model with nothing to account for it, or from a catalog we could not read reliably. Listed, and never a pick.
