AI Data Notes: LLM Prices Rise, Funding Surges, and MCP Servers Fluctuate

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

TANDIU's weekly data notes for October 26 to November 1, 2026, reveal a dynamic AI landscape. The LLM API price index saw a slight increase, driven by a change from Mistral AI, with Hunyuan A13B remaining the lowest-priced model and GPT-5.5 Pro the highest. The AI funding tracker documented 165 new records, predominantly from the US and China, with Baseten and Physical Intelligence reportedly in significant funding talks. Additionally, the report details changes in GPU rental prices and the status of official MCP servers, noting fluctuations in reachability between US and China, and highlighting Expedia's endpoint exclusion from certain tests.
