LLM price moves, week 35
24 – 30 Aug 2026. Measured between the snapshots of 2026-08-23 and 2026-08-30. Percentages are on the blended list price, 30% input and 70% output.
4 models were repriced by a seller (2 up, 2 down) out of 253 compared. 14 other moves are a change to the price we quote, not to what anyone charges.
Per-host prices are archived from 2026-08-30. In this week a change of quoted host could only be detected from the closing day's host list, so some rows listed as repricings may be one.
