- Releases36New AI models in the release log since September 1, 2026. Models change often, so AI answers about your business can change too. Check them each month.
- Context1MMost flagship models can read about 1 million tokens in one request. That is about 750,000 words. Length is not the limit. Clear facts and clear structure help AI tools use your content.
- Price spread100×GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 cost $10 for each 1M input tokens. GPT-6 Luna costs $0.10. That is 100 times less. For simple, high-volume tasks, a low-cost model is often enough.
- AI summary clicks8%In a Pew Research Center study, people clicked a result link on 8% of Google visits with an AI summary, and on 15% of visits without one. If the AI summary does not name your business, fewer people find you.
