Data

Inference Price Index

A weekly, standardized snapshot of open-weight model pricing, per model and per provider — dated list prices, Morpheus included and ranked wherever the data lands. Also available as JSON.

How we price it

weekly · dated

Weekly standardized snapshot, dated, per-model per-provider list pricing in USD per million tokens (input/output). See /methodology for the full sampling approach.

Every snapshot is dated and per-model, per-provider — never a single blended “cheapest” number. Full method: methodology.
