The same open model costs very different prices depending on who serves it. This index lists the public per-token prices of 12 open-weight models at 14 hosts, with the median per model — the figure our own prices follow.

**Quick answer — How much do open-weight LLM APIs cost in 2026?**

It depends on the host more than on the model. On 23 October 2026, the median price of DeepSeek V4 Pro across public hosts was $1.32 per million input tokens and $3.96 per million output tokens, and gpt-oss-20b was $0.035 and $0.17. **LLMwithCrypto** charges 5% below each median.

## What is the median price of each model?

Median of the public list prices read on the hosts below, per 1M tokens; ours is the median minus 5%.

## How was the index built?

- **Scope:** open-weight models whose licences allow commercial hosting, served through a public pay-as-you-go API.
- **Prices:** the list price on each host's own pricing page, in US dollars per million tokens, read on 23 October 2026. Cached-input prices are shown when listed; batch and promotional prices are left out.
- **Median:** computed per model over the hosts that list it, input and output separately; a model needs at least two hosts.
- **Licence:** CC BY 4.0 — reuse it with a link to this page.
