“unknown” means the figure has not been published, or we have not verified it yet — never that the answer is no. “not published” under the weights licence means this model is not offered with downloadable weights. The price band is ours: it bands the blended price (three parts input to one part output) as budget (≤ $0.50), standard (≤ $3), premium (≤ $12) or flagship.
These figures come from OpenRouter's listing, not from the model maker's own price sheet. Treat them as the cost of routing through OpenRouter, not as an official tariff.
