Ember-1 pricing by host
A host is a company that runs the model and sells it by the token — the lab that made it, a cloud platform like Amazon Bedrock, Azure or Vertex, or an independent provider. One model, several sellers, and often several prices. This model is sold by 1 host. The price quoted above is the one we publish so that models stay comparable; it is not necessarily the cheapest way to buy this model. List prices as published on 2026-09-24 via OpenRouter — negotiated rates, committed-use discounts and provisioned capacity are not shown.
Fireworks is the only host with a published rate, $3.00 input / $15.00 output per 1M tokens, which is the price shown on this page.
| Host | Input $/1M | Output $/1M |
|---|---|---|
| Fireworks (the price shown above) | $3.00 | $15.00 |
