Where it fits

  • High-volume, cost-sensitive work — at $0.05/1M output it sits in the cheapest quarter of tracked models.

Watch for

  • Small 8K-token context — not for long documents or large codebases.
  • Priced from OpenRouter's routed market, not a first-party list price — availability and rate can shift without notice.
  • Text-only — no image, audio, or file input.

These notes are derived from price, context and modality — structural facts, not measured quality. Measured cost-to-finish-a-task lives on the real-cost index.

How to read Llama 3 8B Lunaris's pricing

Two numbers decide most of the bill: $0.04/1M for input (everything you send — prompt, context, attachments) and $0.05/1M for output (everything it generates, including hidden reasoning tokens). Output is priced 1.3× the input rate here, so the shape of your workload — how much it reads versus writes — matters as much as the headline figure. This row is OpenRouter's routed market price; it can move as providers and routing change.
