Opus 4.6 surprised me in a 4 model agent build test.
Compared to Gemini 3 Flash and DeepSeek, it streams fast and keeps going without losing structure. Long outputs stay coherent, actionable, and actually implementable.
I’m running these comparisons on https://t.co/ywdDBbWWAK: OpenAI compatible endpoint, up to 70% off, plus $10 free credits on signup.
Claude Opus 4.6 hasn’t even officially launched yet ,but we’re already preparing the pipeline.
When it drops, three things happen immediately:
• Benchmark it properly. No hype, just numbers.
• Opus 4.5 already runs ~70 tokens/s on our routing , let’s see if 4.6 resets the ceiling.
• And the one that matters most: how much cost can we cut for developers?
Speed is expected.
Cost reduction is intentional.
We’ll handle the optimization.
Kimi-K2.5 and Qwen3-Max are now live on RunAPI.
Both models are production-ready with high throughput, strong stability, and seamless integration through our unified API.
To celebrate the launch, we are offering a limited-time price at 50% of the official rate.
No migration needed. Switch the model and start building.
We currently offer three routing modes on RunAPI:
Default gives you access to all vendors at around 50% below typical market pricing. It’s built for everyday use and a strong cost to performance balance.
Plus costs about 1.5× Default, and is tuned for consistently high speed and stability. Best for production workloads and anything latency sensitive.
Auto uses smart routing to send each request to the fastest available upstream in real time. It’s available to paid users who want top performance without having to think about vendor selection.
Pick the mode that matches your workload, and let the platform handle the rest.
Right now on https://t.co/ywdDBbWoLc
claude 4.5 opus : 42% lower cost
gemini 3 pro preview : 52% lower cost
gpt 5.2 : 55% lower
Same models, same behavior.
Just smarter routing and fewer unnecessary markups.
If you’re shipping with these models every day, the difference shows up on the bill pretty quickly.
Quick question for builders here.
Right now RunAPI is simple pay as you go with all models at ~50% price.
I’m considering a $50/month subscription for 10k calls across any model (Claude,Gemini,gpt,kimi…).
Would that actually be useful, or does pay as you go feel safer?

No magic here. We do the boring founder work: find great providers, filter hard, and route every request to whoever is fastest and most reliable right now. You shouldn’t have to overpay for the same model.
A lot of people still don’t understand what we’re building, or how our API prices can stay at roughly 50% of the “market” rate.
We’re not hosting the models ourselves and reselling them.
For every model on RunAPI, we do the unsexy work: we hunt down multiple strong providers, vet them hard, and only list the ones that can consistently deliver real quality. The goal is simple. Same model behavior you’d expect, but without paying the premium just because one provider is the default.
Then we add the part that actually makes it feel good to use: routing. Every request gets sent to the best provider at that moment, based on real time speed and reliability signals, not just a static rule. If one provider slows down or gets flaky, traffic shifts automatically. You keep the same model, but you’re always hitting the fastest lane.
So the “why” is this: competition plus selection plus routing. We keep multiple providers in the pool, we don’t compromise on performance, and we let the system continuously choose the best option.
You pay half, but you still get the best available provider experience. That’s the whole point.
