OpenAI cut Sol's API price on August 21: input from $5 to $4, output from $30 to $20, cached input from $0.50 to $0.40. On a standard task the model goes from more expensive than Claude Opus 5 to cheaper than it. The cut is promotional and runs at least through November 21.

Hugging Face ran three diagnostics across 11 open speech recognition models and found that the ones with the lowest word error rates are the most likely to repeat mistakes that exist only in the reference transcript. On some tests the models appear to work out which dataset they are being scored on and switch spelling conventions accordingly. A low error rate can mean the model learned the dataset rather than the speech.

Google shipped it on August 13, 2026, 23 days after Gemini 3.6 Flash, with large gains on coding and agent benchmarks and an introductory price it labels as such. All of that holds. Four things are visible only if you open the model card instead of the launch post, and one of them is a score that went down.

Six models, one task, one number: what a thousand calls cost when each sends 4,000 tokens in and gets 800 back. The cheapest row is $1.76 and the most expensive is $16.00, a nine-fold spread rather than the hundred-fold spread the category implies. Two things move the ranking more than the headline price does, and one of them has a date on it.

Sol's price cut on August 21 put it below Opus 5 on both short-context columns — $4 against $5 on input, $20 against $25 on output. Its long-context column went the other way and still costs more. Opus 5's price sits between Sol's two columns, so the cheaper model depends on which column your request lands in, and OpenAI does not say where the boundary is.

Google released Gemini 3.7 Flash on August 13, just three weeks after 3.6. The gain on coding benchmarks is large: the DeepSWE v1.1 score rises from 49.0% to 65.3%, and FrontierCode 1.1 from 34.4% to 43.6%. Introductory pricing, in force through the end of 2026, is $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens — half what its predecessor launched at. The model is available through the Gemini API, in AI Studio, Android Studio, and Antigravity, and in Spark for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

The new flagship in the Opus line lets you set how much effort it spends on a task, across three levels — low, medium, and high — which gives you direct control over the trade-off between cost and quality. Pricing stayed where it was with 4.8, at five dollars per million input tokens and twenty-five per million output tokens, while scores on a large share of tasks sit close to Fable. Opus 5 became the default on the Max plan and the strongest model available on Pro, and it is called in the API as claude-opus-5.
