AICostBudget AI API Pricing Dataset v1.1.0 - Reproducible Dual-Projection Release

AICostBudget AI API Pricing Dataset v1.1.0

Reproducible dual-projection release for the 2026-09-30 dataset snapshot.

This release introduces an explicit asset contract for the two public pricing projections and a deterministic release manifest with SHA-256 verification.

Frozen sources

• Dataset tag: v1.1.0
• Dataset commit: 6882e95a8cdf5fb39b75b47bcd9ba0bff63b13d8
• Website source commit: 52d79a701df4cc67e6c4a17b3ab52d50b8197576
• Snapshot: 2026-09-30
• Data license: CC BY 4.0
• Repository code license: MIT

GitHub Pages V1

Role: backward-compatible GitHub Pages API and tracked repository snapshot.

• Records: 75
• Providers: 11

Assets:

• github-pages-v1-prices.json
• github-pages-v1-prices.csv
• github-pages-v1-meta.json

Pricing V2

Role: public Website Pricing V2 projection, mirrored by Hugging Face.

• Records: 81
• Providers: 11
• Export schema: 1.8.0

Assets:

• pricing-v2-prices.json
• pricing-v2-prices.csv
• pricing-v2-meta.json

The V1 and V2 record counts differ by design. They are different projections and must not be mixed.

Reproducibility

This release also includes:

• release-manifest.json
• SHA256SUMS.txt

The manifest records the exact Dataset commit, Website source commit, snapshot, schema information, projection-specific record counts, source paths, byte lengths, and SHA-256 hashes.

Use SHA256SUMS.txt to verify downloaded files.

Generated dataset metadata:

• Generated at: 2026-09-30T13:48:52Z
• Aggregate last verified at: 2026-09-30T03:25:59Z

Historical release note

The earlier dataset-2026-09-30 release is retained as a historical artifact, but its uploaded asset set mixed V1 price files with V2 metadata.

v1.1.0 is the first release using the projection-qualified deterministic bundle contract and should be preferred for reproducible citation.

The historical tag and assets will remain unchanged.

Limitations

Provider prices may change after the verification date. Pricing can depend on context length, processing mode, cache behavior, modality, region, account tier, or other provider-specific conditions. Verify production billing decisions against the relevant official provider documentation.

AICostBudget AI API Pricing Dataset — 2026-09-30

⚠️ Historical release — superseded

This release is preserved for reproducibility, but its uploaded assets mix two projections:

• prices.json and prices.csv: GitHub Pages V1 pricing data.
• meta.json: Pricing V2 metadata.

Although the original notes describe this as a Pricing V2 release, these files do not form a validated Pricing V2 bundle. Do not use this release for a validated V2 citation.

Use the trusted v1.1.0 release instead. Its version DOI is 10.5281/zenodo.23087250.

The historical tag, assets, and hashes remain unchanged.
