Publisher-reported benchmarks
Results are grouped by unit. Percentage, Elo, and task-count results never share a scale.

- — Other Model Studio regions bill $0.113 / $0.382 per 1M tokens; the listed phase is the Singapore rate.

What is not independently confirmed
- Every figure on this page is self-reported by the cited publisher. MiniRouter did not run these benchmarks.
- Benchmark harnesses are not standardised. Results sharing a name across vendors have not been confirmed to use identical runs.
- Publisher pricing can change, and introductory phases have stated end dates.
- Qwen3.8-Flash is routable through MiniRouter today; live pricing on its model page is authoritative over the publisher figures here.
