List rates are the latest published Meta API pricing and Amazon API pricing, quoted per million tokens. Official rate sheets: https://llama.meta.com/ and https://anotherwrapper.com/tools/llm-pricing. Prompt caching, batch APIs, and committed-use discounts can change the invoice. Benchmark scores are from official publications and independent evals, updated as new numbers land.
Muse Glimmer-30B supports up to an unspecified number of output tokens per request, while Nova Lite supports up to 2K output tokens. Output tokens are usually the expensive half of API pricing, so a higher max output cap is a capability, not a discount.
Nova Lite has a measured throughput of approximately 100 tokens/second. Throughput data for Muse Glimmer-30B is not yet available. Throughput (tokens per second) and time-to-first-token are why two models with the same per-million-token price can still feel different in chat and agents.
