TANDIU 每週數據簡報：一次價格調整、兩款新模型及逾 170 宗融資（2026 年 10 月 19 至 25 日）
One price change, two new models, 170+ funding rounds: TANDIU weekly data notes (Oct 19–25, 2026)
TANDIU 本週數據追蹤涵蓋 71 款模型，新增 MiniMax M3.1 Flash 和 Kimi K3.1 Pro，並記錄一款模型調價。Upstage Solar Pro 4 的混合價格上升 66.7%；AI 融資追蹤器記錄逾 170 宗 10 月 19 至 25 日的融資。
Each week we summarize what changed in the public data on TANDIU: LLM API list prices, AI funding rounds and GPU rental prices. Every number below comes from the site or its MCP server, as of October 26, 2026 (UTC+8).
1. LLM API list prices
We track 71 models now, up from 69 a week ago. Two were added, and one existing model changed its official list price.
| Event | Model | Input / output, USD per 1M tokens | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Added Oct 20 | MiniMax M3.1 Flash | $0.15 / $0.60 | LiveBench 2.0: 73.1 (MiniMax M3: 53.7 at $0.30 / $1.20) |
| Added Oct 24 | Kimi K3.1 Pro | $2 / $10 | LiveBench 2.0: 76.7 (Kimi K3: 63.4 at $3 / $15) |
| Price change Oct 20 | Upstage Solar Pro 4 | $0.09 / $0.36 → $0.15 / $0.60 | Blended price +66.7% |
Small moves in the USD figures for some Chinese models (Doubao, Step, Hunyuan) are exchange-rate effects; their RMB list prices did not change. USD/CNY moved from 6.6898 to 6.6744. Kimi K3 is now shown at its international USD list price ($3 / $15).
Where the range sits today:
- Lowest: Hunyuan A13B at $0.075 / $0.30
- Lowest from a US vendor: Claude Haiku 5.5 and GPT-6 Luna at $0.10 / $0.50
- Highest: GPT-5.5 Pro and GPT-5.4 Pro at $30 / $180
Blended average per 1M tokens (3 parts input to 1 part output): US models ¥56.35, Chinese models ¥11.03. A week ago these were ¥56.48 and ¥10.79. The Chinese average rose mainly because Kimi K3.1 Pro was added, not because of price increases.

2. Price index
The TANDIU LLM price index (all tracked models, July 13, 2026 = 100) went from 104.83 on October 19 to 105.61 on October 26. That is +0.75% over 30 days. The median blended price is $2.00 per 1M tokens.
The index is a chain-linked geometric mean of price changes for models listed on consecutive days. Adding or retiring a model doesn't move it, and RMB-priced models with an unchanged RMB price count as unchanged. Almost all of this week's move came on October 20, the day of the Solar Pro 4 change.

3. "Good enough" models by score
The MCP tool cheapest_model_for_score answers questions like "which model reaches at least 90% of the top LiveBench 2.0 score for the lowest price?"
- Top score: Claude Fable 5.1, 88.0 ($10 / $50)
- 90% threshold: 79.2. Ten models meet it.
- Lowest blended price among them: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, 79.2 at $0.30 / $1.20
- Next, all at $2 / $10: GPT-6.1 Sol (85.4), Gemini 4 Argon (84.1), Claude Sonnet 5.5 (82.5), GPT-6 Sol (81.9)
4. AI funding
The funding tracker has over 170 records dated October 19–25: 66 in the US, 61 in China and 46 elsewhere. Each record links its sources. The largest equity rounds:
| Company | Round | Amount | Valuation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tenstorrent | Series E | $1.5B | $6.2B |
| Flapping Airplanes | Series A | $1B | $6B |
| Neolix | Series E | $400M | not disclosed |
| ASI | Series C | $325M | $3B |
| Pathos AI | Series E | $237M | about $3B |
| Warp Sciences | Series A | $215M | not disclosed |
| Tractian | Series D | $130M | $1.4B |
Amounts are as reported by the linked sources. Some records have a single source; the page shows how many sources back each one.

5. GPU cloud rental
These are price ranges from public vast.ai listings, in USD per GPU-hour, with the change versus 7 days earlier.
| GPU | Range today | Listings | Change vs 7 days ago |
|---|---|---|---|
| H100 SXM | $1.93–4.00 | 7 | -0.6% |
| B200 | $6.49–15.01 | 5 | +19.6% |
| RTX PRO 6000 | $1.23–2.14 | 26 | +13.8% |
| L40S | $0.42–0.83 | 8 | -15.4% |
Data-center GPUs have few listings, so a single listing can move the range. Read the B200 and H200 figures with that in mind.

6. For agents
TANDIU is built for AI from day one. Everything above is available to agents without an API key:
- MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP):
https://www.tandiu.cn/mcp, with 14 tools includinglist_llm_prices,get_price_index,list_price_changes,cheapest_model_for_score,list_gpu_pricesandlist_ai_funding - llms.txt and the open JSON feeds listed in the API docs
Add it to Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http tandiu https://www.tandiu.cn/mcp
Or call it directly:
curl -s https://www.tandiu.cn/mcp \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_price_index","arguments":{"group":"ALL"}}}'
This week the server was also listed on mcpservers.org.
What's next
We'll keep tracking official list-price changes daily and publish these notes every Monday. If you cite the data, please credit TANDIU with the page link and date.
