LLM model catalog sees price shifts, removals, and new free tiers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [17 sources] ·

The LLM model catalog has seen significant changes in pricing and availability across various providers. MoonshotAI's Kimi models have seen price reductions, while some free models like MoonshotAI's Kimi K2.6 and NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 have been removed or updated. Several older versions of OpenAI's GPT-4 models and Baidu's ERNIE models have also been retired from availability. Additionally, some models like NousResearch Hermes 3 70B Instruct have experienced substantial price increases, impacting cost-sensitive users. AI

IMPACT Tracks shifts in LLM accessibility and cost, guiding developers on model selection and budget allocation.
