September 16, 2026 · added to this dataset, our omission
Omission on our side, not a price change by any provider. On September 16, 2026, while reading OpenAI's pricing page by hand for a check on batch and flex prices, GPT-6 Astra turned up in the Standard table with no row in this dataset. A hand sweep of the first-party pricing pages of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral, DeepSeek, Alibaba and Cohere against the dataset then found eight models charged per token with text output and a published price that had no row: GPT-6 Astra and GPT-Rosalind (OpenAI), Claude Haiku 3.5 (Anthropic, retired on the first-party API but still priced), Gemini 2.5 Computer Use Preview, Gemini Robotics ER 2 Preview and its Streaming variant, and Gemini Omni Flash Preview, a separate endpoint id from the generally available Omni Flash row at the same prices (Google), and GLM 5.3 (served by Mistral). Astra had been in OpenAI's Standard table at least since September 10, 2026, when the weekly detector first received that page's text, and this site's OpenRouter explainer already named it from the September 15 snapshot. The weekly detector could not have caught any of these: it compares the rows that exist against the page and has no step for models the page lists and the dataset does not. Each new row carries the page quote it was read from. Audio, image, video, embedding and per-minute models found in the same sweep were left out on purpose: the table covers models charged per token with text output.
