No per-token price after the beta was found, and the terms promise 30 days' notice before fees rise. Reasoning tokens count as output and toward limits, and the default effort is max. Other hosts on OpenRouter, not reviewed here, list $0.25 to $1.30 input and $1.00 to $4.30 output per million tokens.

Tool calls need `reasoning_content` returned on every assistant turn, and the docs say a tool-call step without it makes every later request in the session fail.

The status page lists a serving cluster down for about 80 minutes on 14 October, an hour of errors on 15 October and 15 minutes on 16 October. Limits have no figures, there is no SLA, and the API is a public beta. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 17 October 2026.

The API safety page says content is not used for training by default, but the commercial terms of 5 October 2026 license training on content sent to services at no charge, and the API is currently free. Flagged-content retention reads 12 months in the terms and two years on the safety page. Zero data retention is not yet available, and no security.txt was found.
