Task fit and model switching guide

Derived from official positioning and current ComputeUnion provider and pricing data.

Official positioningOfficially positioned as a balance of capability and cost for everyday production work.

Discount vs official API

Input-price difference for the same model; negative values are above official price.

Official baseline unavailable; discount is not calculated.

Price composition

Input and output remain paired within each provider quote.

Capability radar

Task-fit levels derived from official positioning, not an independent benchmark.

Channel cost and evidence map

X-axis is observed example monthly cost; Y-axis is price-evidence strength.

External capability comparison for related models

Only evidence-backed related models with the same external metric are compared.

Artificial Analysis โ†—
Sources and verification method
  • Prices: current official and provider quotes in ComputeUnion, calculated within each provider.
  • Capability: official task positioning plus safely matched Artificial Analysis metrics; neither is presented as a ComputeUnion benchmark.
  • Evidence: official, live API, platform-submitted, and unreviewed quotes remain visibly separated.

Best-fit tasks

  • Best suited to coding.
  • Best suited to advanced agent workflows.
  • Best suited to long-context analysis.
  • Suitable for self-hosted deployment.

    Inkling provider prices and multipliers

    No complete verified official input/output baseline is currently recorded, so provider quotes are shown without multipliers.

    FAQ

    How is Inkling API priced?

    Input and output tokens are billed separately. A complete official input/output baseline is not currently recorded, so provider quotes are normalized per million tokens.

    Which provider is cheapest for Inkling?

    The lowest recorded input price is $1.0000/1M tokens from OpenRouter; verify provider terms and the observation date before production use.

    How do official and relay prices differ?

    Official and relay channels can differ in price, latency, limits, and service terms; evaluate them separately for production traffic.
