Watch out

Added on 2026-08-27 — not yet compared against Sonar Pro on your own eval; the per-request fee still usually exceeds the token cost. Separately: the pricing page now says "Sonar Chat Completions is now Agent API" and that Sonar "will be supported until September 27, 2026". That date is on the Chat Completions endpoint, not on this model — no Sonar model is marked deprecated — but if you call it through Chat Completions you have a migration, not a renewal

What we would use it for

A reasoning-capable grounded tier between Sonar and Sonar Pro

What this has cost, week by week

Output price at each refresh since 2026-08-20. A vendor change is the provider changing its price. Our correction means this board changed what it prints and the provider's charge did not move — the two are never merged, because publishing the second as the first would be a price rise that never happened.

08-20 $8.0008-27 $8.0009-03 $8.00

Nothing has moved since we started tracking it.
