When not to use it

Trust this before you buy

  • When you need a Continuum-hosted SKU from this lab, use the hosted card on this hub instead of this catalog row.
  • $0.60 in / $2.50 out per 1M on the 2026-08-19 OpenRouter row. Context 262,144 in / 100,352 out.
  • Need a denser published sibling on this hub? Kimi K3 is the card already on the cluster.

FAQ

Why does the lab blog disagree with DeepSWE or Scale?

Lab posts pick a harness, an effort, a split, and sometimes a private eval set. DeepSWE publishes the official mini-swe-agent row with cost, tokens, and steps. Scale SWE-bench Pro only counts when the public shared-harness board has a row we can fetch. A higher lab number is usually a different test, not a better one.
