The Known Good
Source. Prices, endpoint availability and throughput for Friendli are ingested from OpenRouter;
model metadata is enriched from models.dev. A blank cell means the figure was not published for that endpoint —
it never means zero. Blended price is (3 × input + output) ÷ 4, the same 3:1 blend used everywhere on this
site; see methodology. Quality scores are not provider-specific:
a model scores the same wherever it is hosted, so quality lives on the
model pages.
