Mini on Workers AI carries the version in its model ID, `@cf/daily-co/phonellm-mini-alpha-2`, and Workers AI has retired models at 13 to 22 days' notice before.

A workload of 1,000 calls with 2,000 input and 200 output tokens each comes to about $0.17 before the allowance. No cached-input price is listed. Max has no per-token route, only dedicated GPU time or two B200 or B300 GPUs of the owner's. The weights are free.

The examples also leave out the `temperature: 0` and `enable_thinking: false` settings the changelog asks for. Neither Hugging Face card has a limitations section, and the repositories' generation_config.json samples by default. Max needs `chat_template_kwargs` on every request or its reply lands in `reasoning`. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 17 October 2026.

A 429 carries code 3036 for a spent free allocation or 3040 for capacity, and rejectIfBusy fails fast, though no Retry-After is documented for 3040. The feed holds one minor Workers AI incident on 15 October that doesn't name the model. Daily labels it Alpha 2, no SLA was found, and three Alpha 1 reports have no reply.
