How we count
Prices are per million input tokens; an embedding model writes no output, so there is no blend. A price below Alibaba Cloud's own is listed as cheapest only when the provider says why.
- No maker price
- The lab publishes no price of its own, so there is nothing to measure the row against.
- Free tier
- Given away inside a quota. A limit is not a price, so it is never called cheapest.
- 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.
