Tuesday is about capabilities arriving faster than anyone can check them. OpenAI put 722 math papers from an unreleased internal model on GitHub, claiming proofs of problems mathematicians have worked on for decades, with Lean proofs for many and an admission that some of the rest "could have issues". Mistral opened a preview of Large 4, a model with about a trillion parameters whose weights it promises by the end of the month, and pitched it partly on doing the security work closed models refuse. Hours later Anthropic answered with three verified access tiers that lift Claude's cyber blocks for defenders and red teams. OpenAI shipped a Decisions API that returns probabilities instead of prose, Google released EmbeddingGemma 2 for multimodal search on a phone, and Polars 2.0 changes how your dataframe queries run by default.

## A year of mathematics, dumped on GitHub in an afternoon

**What shipped.** OpenAI published [a repository of 722 manuscripts in 372 "families"](https://github.com/openai/math), all produced by an unreleased internal model it was evaluating on open research problems after, it says, its existing math evaluations saturated. The [README](https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/README.md) says nearly all results came from the same fixed procedure, averaged three hours of ChatGPT Pro thinking compute each, and were filtered from about 4,000 problems posed to the model. The named exceptions are work on a zero-free region for the Riemann zeta function and a proof of the Hodge conjecture for CM abelian varieties, and one zeta write-up was edited by humans for readability. The licence is Apache 2.0.

The claims are enormous. Among them, all by the repository's own descriptions:

- **The quasi-Riemann hypothesis**: [a paper](https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/preprints/The-Quasi-Riemann-Hypothesis-September-30-2026/paper.pdf) claiming the zeta function and every Dirichlet L-function have no zeros with real part above 7/8. That's not the Riemann hypothesis (which needs 1/2), but no zero-free half-plane of any width was known before.
- **Khot's Unique Games Conjecture**, the central open question in hardness of approximation, which would settle that algorithms like Goemans–Williamson for Max-Cut are the best possible unless P = NP.
- **A matrix multiplication exponent of at most 9/4** ([paper](https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/preprints/Matrix-Multiplication-Nine-Fourths-October-2-2026/paper.pdf)), well below the long-standing bound of about 2.37.
- **Integer multiplication in O(n (log n)^(1−κ)) time** with κ = 2^−182, which the paper says disproves the Schönhage–Strassen conjecture that n log n is optimal on multitape Turing machines.
- The Kakeya conjecture in four dimensions and the Kakeya maximal conjecture in three.

**How much of it is checked.** OpenAI's [formalization catalogue](https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/lean/formalization.yaml) lists Lean proofs of the main result for 162 papers, including the 7/8 zero-free half-plane, Unique Games and the 9/4 matrix bound, built on mathlib and several community libraries, with Comparator challenge files that pin down each formal statement so others can check the proofs against it. The same file marks its review status as "unchecked", the integer-multiplication paper has no Lean proof, and the README warns that some unformalized results "could have issues". Machine-checked proofs are about as strong as evidence gets, provided the formal statement says what the paper claims; that's what the comparator files are for, and it's where outside mathematicians will look first. [Scientific American reports](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/openai-unleashes-hundreds-more-math-results-upon-a-field-already-in-shock/) a split reaction: MIT's Andrew Sutherland wants "receipts" for the single-prompt claim until the model is released, and an OpenAI spokesperson conceded some results might have taken multiple attempts.

**What it means for you.** None of this changes code you ship this week. The 9/4 and sub-n log n algorithms are the kind with constants too large to beat today's libraries; κ = 2^−182 means the speed-up won't show at any input size you'll ever see. The practical signal is about the model, not the theorems: OpenAI has something internal that writes research-grade proofs in a few hours of Pro-tier compute, and the catalogue lists an agent as the method behind the Lean proofs. If you build anything that depends on formal verification, proof assistants or theorem search, the bottleneck is moving from writing proofs to checking that the statements are right.

**The leaderboard has moved from benchmarks to open problems.** Labs have spent two years quoting olympiad medals and FrontierMath scores; OpenAI's README now says its evaluations saturated and it's using the open literature as the benchmark instead. Releasing 722 papers at once, rather than the model, lets OpenAI claim the frontier without letting anyone test it, which is the same pattern as Anthropic's Mythos and Mistral's pre-release red-teaming: the most capable systems are shown, not shipped. Expect Google DeepMind to answer with its own formalized results, and expect mathematicians to push for the model access and per-result compute numbers this release left out.

**Update (2026-10-08):** On October 7 OpenAI [withdrew three of the manuscripts](https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/history.md) over a sign error in a Hodge-conjecture paper and repaired proofs in 14 others; see the [7 October edition](/daily/2026-10-07-microsoft-execution-containers-agent-sandbox/).

## Mistral puts a trillion parameters on the open-weight table

**What shipped.** Mistral launched a [public preview of Mistral Large 4](https://mistral.ai/news/mistral-large-4/) (ML4, nicknamed "le Chonk"). It's a natively multimodal mixture-of-experts with about 1 trillion parameters. The blog says 49 billion are active per token; the [model docs](https://docs.mistral.ai/models/mistral-large-4-0) say 52 billion active, 1.05 trillion total and a 1.6B vision encoder. You can call it now through the API in Mistral Studio at $1.36 per million input tokens, $0.14 cached and $4.18 output, with batch at half price. The weights aren't out yet: Mistral says it will release them "by the end of the month", and until then it is red-teaming with cybersecurity firms, vetted partners and "state authorities", who get a version with reduced moderation and expanded cyber capabilities. The docs list the licence only as "Open", not Apache 2.0 like Large 3, so check the terms when the weights land.

It was trained from scratch on 3,800 Nvidia Grace Blackwell GPUs in Mistral's own European datacenters, which also serve the preview. The benchmark numbers are Mistral's: 61.7% on DeepSWE v1.1, 28.3% on Terminal-Bench 4, 59.9% on AutomationBench, and 93% of Cybench's 40 challenges. On one test in the Artificial Analysis Cyber Index (reproduce a real vulnerability, then patch it) it scores 82%, the top score, and Mistral notes that Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra score near zero there because they refuse. In a blind coding-quality evaluation run with Surge AI, it placed second of five, behind Claude Opus 5 and ahead of Kimi K3 and GLM-5.3. Mistral says the RL run is still going, so the model should keep improving before release.

**What it means for you.** If you're on Mistral Large 3, this is a much bigger model at a much higher price: Large 3 lists at $0.50 in and $1.50 out, so Large 4 is about 2.7 times more per token. The fairer comparison is with the open models it targets: DeepSeek V4 Pro lists at $1.32 and $3.96, GLM 5.3 at $1.40 and $4.40 ([our price table](/models/)). Security teams are the obvious first users. A model that will reproduce a vulnerability, run on your own hardware and not refuse mid-incident is something closed APIs don't sell. Self-hosting a trillion parameters is a cluster job, not a workstation one, so most teams will rent it from Mistral or an inference host.

**Europe's champion now sells on refusals, not just residency.** Until now Mistral's pitch was sovereignty: open weights, EU hosting, on-prem deployment for banks and governments. Large 4 adds a sharper argument, that closed US models refuse legitimate security work and you can't afford a refusal during an incident. It's a direct pitch at Anthropic and OpenAI, whose cyber safeguards are getting stricter, and it lands a day after Reflection previewed Beam, an American open-weight model. That makes two Western open models with weights promised "this month", both benchmarked against GLM, Kimi and DeepSeek rather than against each other. The €3 billion Series D in September is paying for the compute; the test is whether the weights actually ship on time and whether the licence lets enterprises use them as freely as the Chinese models they're meant to replace.

## Anthropic lifts Claude's cyber blocks for verified defenders

**What shipped.** Anthropic [expanded its Cyber Verification Program](https://www.anthropic.com/news/cyber-verification-program) and folded Project Glasswing into it. Its generally available models have "conservative cyber safeguards that block most cyber work"; the program lifts them in three tiers, each with access to Claude Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5 and Mythos 5.1:

- **Defense Access** covers incident response, malware reverse-engineering and validating vulnerabilities. It's open to company and government security teams, critical-infrastructure operators of any size, smaller security firms, open-source maintainers and individual researchers with a record of reported bugs. Anthropic aims to answer applications within a few days.
- **Red Team Access** adds authorised penetration testing against systems you're allowed to test. It's for organisations only, takes a few weeks to review, and still blocks things like deploying ransomware or damaging physical systems.
- **Specialized Access** has the fewest blocks and is for testing systems such as power grids, flight systems and interbank transfers. Anthropic reviews each organisation with the US government, and existing Glasswing members move here.

Enrolled organisations must accept data retention so Anthropic can monitor for misuse, unless they already have zero-retention access to Fable 5.1 or Mythos 5.1; a zero-retention option called Enterprise Frontier Safeguards is due "later this fall". The program runs on the Claude Platform, Vertex AI and Microsoft Foundry; on Bedrock only for customers eligible for that new option. Anthropic's own test: on its CyScenarioBench, 46 of 50 Opus 5.5 runs were blocked in the Defense tier, while the Red Team tier blocked none and completed 34 of 50, about the same as with no safeguards. It also says Glasswing partners reported at least 129,000 verified vulnerabilities between April and July, its own open-source scanning found 5,500 more through October, and over 33,000 were rated critical or high. Those are Anthropic's numbers, from partial survey data.

**What it means for you.** If your security team has been fighting refusals on alert triage or malware analysis, apply for Defense Access now; it's the tier most teams will get, and quickly. Open-source maintainers qualify too, which matters given how many AI-found bug reports are landing on them. Plan for the retention requirement: if your legal team only signed off on zero data retention, check whether you're covered before you route security work through the program.

**Refusals are becoming a product tier.** This lands the same day Mistral pitched Large 4 on reproducing vulnerabilities that closed models refuse. Anthropic's answer is that the capability exists, but behind identity checks, monitoring and, at the top, a government review. That splits the market: verified organisations get full Claude, while anyone who can't or won't be vetted is pushed toward open weights. Expect OpenAI to formalise similar tiers, and expect the verification paperwork to become the real cost of AI security tooling.

## OpenAI's Decisions API answers with probabilities, not prose

**What shipped.** OpenAI's [Decisions API](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/decisions), in limited preview [last week](/daily/2026-09-29-openai-devday-dots-gpt-6-1-sol/), is now in public beta with published pricing. It's a `/v1/decisions` endpoint that evaluates text or images and returns typed answers rather than generated text. There are three question types: a *predicate* returns the probability a condition is true, a *choice* picks one of your options, and a *score* rates input against ordered levels. Choice and score also return the full probability distribution and a confidence value, and you can ask several questions about the same input in one request. The only model is GPT-6 Luna, and OpenAI says it's about 10x faster than the Responses API. On this endpoint you pay only for input, $0.10 per million tokens, with no output or cache charges. It supports zero data retention and HIPAA for eligible customers, and US and EU data residency; OpenAI expects GA "in the coming weeks". The same day, its [changelog](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/changelog) cut API usage tiers from five to three.

**What you can build with it.** Content moderation, support-ticket routing, triage queues, "is this answer relevant to this question" checks in a RAG pipeline, damage detection on product photos. Anything where you've been asking a chat model to "respond with only yes or no" and parsing the result. Because you get probabilities, you can set thresholds from your own labelled data and send the uncertain middle to a person or a bigger model. Vercel's AI Gateway [already supports](https://vercel.com/changelog/confidence-based-decision-fallbacks) escalating a decision to a fallback model when confidence falls below a level you set.

**A Teams play, not a Jev killer.** This is the category TypeSafe opened with Jev in September and that Cloudflare (Clef) and AWS (Strands Decider) answered with open-weight models last week; our [decision models guide](/articles/decision-models-guide/) compares them in depth. Against the hosted options:

<div class="table-wrap">

| | <mark>OpenAI Decisions (GPT-6 Luna)</mark> | [Jev 1.13](https://typesafe.ai/blog/introducing-system-one-models-and-jev) | [Clef-flash](https://blog.cloudflare.com/clef-decision-models/) | [d1](https://docs.liquid.ai/lfm/models/decision-models) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Price per million input tokens | $0.10 | $0.042 | $0.09 | <mark>$0.04</mark> ([via Vercel](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/d1)) |
| Reads images | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| Published speed | "About 10x faster" than the Responses API (OpenAI) | 70–500 ms end to end (TypeSafe) | <mark>39 ms</mark> median (Cloudflare) | Not published |
| Independent score ([JevBench v1.5.5](/articles/decision-models-guide/)) | None we've found yet | <mark>80.0</mark> (the reference) | 70.3 | Not listed |

</div>

On the numbers OpenAI has published, it isn't the better product: it costs about 2.4 times as much as Jev and d1, quotes speed only relative to its own chat API, and has no accuracy or calibration results we could find. What it has is distribution. It sits in the API, invoice, compliance paperwork (zero data retention, HIPAA, EU data residency) and SDKs that most teams already use, and it reads images, which Jev doesn't. That's the Microsoft Teams pattern: a product doesn't have to win the comparison if most buyers never run one. Our read is that TypeSafe keeps the developers who benchmark, and OpenAI wins the default choice in companies that just want it on the existing bill. The thing to watch is an independent score for GPT-6 Luna. If it matches Jev on accuracy, the price gap alone won't hold the category. Whichever you pick, your thresholds are tuned to one model's probabilities, so switching later means re-calibrating on your labelled data, not just changing a model name.

## Google's new embedding model fits search for video and audio on a phone

**What shipped.** Google DeepMind released [EmbeddingGemma 2](https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/developers-tools/embeddinggemma-2/), an open embedding model that maps text, code, images, audio and video into one shared vector space. It has 740 million parameters, is built on the Gemma 4 architecture and is licensed under Apache 2.0. It's modular: text alone needs 270M parameters, with optional vision (170M) and audio (300M) encoders. Context goes from 2K to 8K tokens, which Google says covers up to 5.5 minutes of audio, 29 images or 58 video frames. Vectors are 768 dimensions and can be truncated to 512, 256 or 128 with Matryoshka representation learning, for up to 6x less storage. Quantised, it needs about 191MB of RAM for text only and 567MB for the full multimodal model on a Pixel 11 Pro. On MTEB Code it scores 78.68, up from 68.76 for the first version. Weights are on [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/google/embeddinggemma-2) and Kaggle, with support at launch in transformers, sentence-transformers, vLLM, llama.cpp, Ollama, MLX and others.

**What you can build with it.** Search a media library with a text query or a voice memo, find a moment in a video, or index a codebase locally for a coding agent, all without sending data to a server. Because it shares a tokenizer and audio encoder with Gemma 4, you can run both for a fully local RAG pipeline with less memory than two unrelated models. The 128-dimension option is worth testing if you store vectors on device or pay per gigabyte in a vector database.

**Small embedders decide where retrieval runs.** Most RAG pipelines still call a hosted embedding API, which means every document and query leaves the device and every re-index costs money. A sub-1B model that handles audio and video moves that step onto the phone or laptop, which matters most for privacy-sensitive apps and for agents that index local files. It also feeds Google's own funnel: the same team sells Gemini Embedding in the cloud, and the developer who starts with the open model has an easy upgrade path.

## Polars 2.0 streams by default

**What shipped.** [Polars 2.0](https://pola.rs/posts/release-polars-2/) is out. The breaking change: `collect()` on a LazyFrame now uses the streaming engine by default, which Polars says brings large memory and speed gains on most queries. The streaming engine doesn't guarantee row order for joins, group-bys, unpivots and some other operations, so if your code relies on order you need `maintain_order=True`. Out-of-core processing is on by default too: Polars starts spilling to disk at about 80% of RAM, with a 64GB default disk budget, for sorts, window functions and many expressions; joins and group-bys are next. SQL is now a first-class interface, Arrow's MapType is a native `Map` dtype, and type checking is stricter so schema mismatches fail before a query runs.

Polars published benchmarks derived from TPC-H and TPC-DS against DuckDB 1.5.6, a DuckDB 2.0 alpha and DataFusion 54 on AWS c7a machines, and says it was fastest on all but one; it also admits a fixed overhead at 192 threads that hurts small queries, which it plans to fix. The [benchmark code is public](https://github.com/pola-rs/polars-2.0-benchmark).

**What it means for you.** Read the migration guide before upgrading anything that writes results in a particular order, such as reports, exports or tests that compare outputs row by row. Those are the places silent reordering will show up. If you've been hitting out-of-memory errors on a single machine, 2.0 may fix them without code changes. The stricter types and `collect_schema()` also help coding agents, which can check a query's shape without running it.

**The single-node engine war has moved to defaults.** Polars, DuckDB and DataFusion are close enough on speed that the differences now come from what happens without tuning: whether a query spills instead of crashing, and whether SQL users can use it without learning a dataframe API. Making streaming and spilling the default is Polars saying most users shouldn't need a cluster, while it sells Polars Cloud to the ones who do.

## Supply-chain security moves to the install step

**What shipped.** At its Transcend event, GitLab introduced [Dependency Firewall](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/transcend-dependency-firewall/) in early access. It checks packages against policy before they're installed, rather than scanning them afterwards. Rules can block on GitLab's malware advisory database, vulnerability severity and count, licence, and package age, so a version published minutes ago can't go straight into a build. It starts in warn mode, switches to block mode when you trust the rules, and allows logged bypasses. Policies live as code and inherit from group to project, with the strictest rule winning. GitLab also [announced](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/transcend-india-announcements/) Artifact Central (beta), goal-driven flows that carry a change through review, tests and approvals, and GitLab-hosted GLM 5.3, Kimi K3 and MiniMax 3 models.

The same morning, IBM and Red Hat [said](https://newsroom.ibm.com/2026-10-06-ibm-and-red-hat-remediate-more-than-400-previously-unknown-open-source-vulnerabilities) their Lightwell programme had found and fixed more than 400 previously unknown vulnerabilities in widely used Java libraries, with fixes backported to versions in production and contributed upstream. Lightwell Clearinghouse is now generally available: enterprise customers can submit specific open-source dependencies for priority review and get fixes for older versions they still run.

**What it means for you.** The "package age" rule is a cheap defence against hijacked-maintainer attacks, because it gives the ecosystem time to spot and pull a malicious release before your build installs it. You can approximate it today with lockfiles and the minimum-release-age settings some package managers and proxies offer; GitLab's version adds enforcement and an audit trail across every project. If you run long-lived Java services on old library versions, Lightwell is IBM selling the backports maintainers no longer ship.

**Agents changed who picks dependencies.** GitLab's own pitch says it plainly: coding agents now add packages on their own, often without anyone reviewing them. Scanning after install was tolerable when a person chose each dependency; it isn't when an agent pulls in dozens a day. Expect GitHub, JFrog and Sonatype to answer with similar policy gates, and expect "minimum package age" to become a default setting rather than an advanced one.

## Anthropic pays startups to start on Claude

**What shipped.** Anthropic [expanded Claude for Startups](https://claude.com/programs/startups). Approved companies get a free year of Claude Team, $1,000 in API credits, office hours with Anthropic's Applied AI team, and up to $45,000 in offers from partner companies such as ClickHouse, ElevenLabs, Firecrawl, Gamma and Granola, redeemed in the Claude Console. [TechCrunch reports](https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/06/anthropic-gives-startups-a-free-year-of-enterprise-service-and-1000-in-token-credits/) the Team plan covers up to five premium seats and that companies qualify if they were founded in the last five years or raised money in the last two.

**What it means for you.** If you're an early team already paying for Claude seats, apply: a year of Team for five people is worth more than the API credits. The $1,000 in API credits won't go far in production, so don't treat it as a reason to pick a model.

**The fight is over who has the paying power users.** The same day, a16z's [seventh Top 100 consumer AI apps report](https://a16z.com/100-gen-ai-apps-7/) used card-spend data for the first time. It found ChatGPT has about three times more paying US consumers than Claude or Gemini, but 7.3% of Claude's paying consumers are on its $100-a-month Max plan, against 1.3% for Google and 1.1% for ChatGPT on comparable tiers. It also saw Claude's daily sessions dip in July and August, with sign-ups slowing and churn rising, while ChatGPT picked up again. Anthropic's revenue comes from developers and businesses, and a free Team year is a cheap way to make Claude the default in companies that will grow into big API bills.

## Quick hits

- **[GitHub stacked pull requests are GA](https://github.blog/changelog/2026-10-06-stacked-pull-requests-generally-available)** on all github.com plans. Rebasing a stack now keeps approvals and signs the new commits, a stack goes through the merge queue as one group, and auto-merge for whole stacks rolls out over the next few weeks. GitHub says repos using stacks merged 9% more code than their peers in the preview.
- **[Sierra and Meta announce the Personal Agent Protocol](https://sierra.ai/blog/introducing-personal-agent-protocol)**, an open standard for how personal AI agents deal with businesses, with Genesys, Instinct, Rocket, Shopify, Stripe and Walmart as partners. Agents start as guests, customers sign in over OAuth and choose read-only or write access, and companies decide whether agents use their website, their APIs (via MCP or OpenAPI) or their own agent. The v0.1 spec is due later in October; payments are a planned extension, not part of the announcement.
- **[Attackers hijacked the .gh, .sl and .as registries and got real certificates for Google domains](https://blog.google/security/chromes-response-to-recent-cctld-registry-hijacks/)** and those of other big brands, by changing DNS records and passing domain validation. Chrome has blocked the certificates it found, but Google says it can't promise it found them all. Monitor certificate transparency logs for your domains and publish restrictive CAA records.
- **[OpenSSH 10.6](https://www.openssh.org/releasenotes.html#10.6)** disables the LZ77 coder in SSH compression after a paper showed the compression context shared across channels can leak plaintext, rejects `$` and `\` in command-line usernames, and fixes several sftp and sshd security bugs. The team says it is getting many AI-found bug reports, sees the same bugs found independently, and will release more often as a result.
- **[Chrome ships JPEG XL decoding from Chrome 155](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/jpeg-xl-in-chrome)**, using jxl-rs, a decoder written in Rust for memory safety. Google says JPEG XL compresses 30–50% better than JPEG and recommends testing it alongside AVIF, especially for high-fidelity, lossless or progressive images.
- **[Mitchell Hashimoto proposes OSC 7501](https://mitchellh.com/writing/program-status-osc7501)**, a terminal escape sequence that lets a program tell the terminal it is working, blocked on a permission prompt or done. Ghostty supports it, with proof-of-concept patches for Claude Code, Codex, Terraform and Homebrew. If you run several coding agents in tabs, this is how a terminal could tell you which one is waiting on you without scraping the screen.
- **[Raspberry Pi Desktop is back for PCs and Macs](https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-desktop-now-available-for-pc-and-mac/)**, now on 64-bit Debian Trixie for x86-64 PCs and Intel Macs (not Apple silicon), as a live USB or a full install, with the Raspberry Pi Connect client built in for managing old laptops alongside your Pis.

[Per Google's pricing page](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing), a 1K image costs about $0.034, half of Nano Banana 2's $0.067, but text input and output cost three times and 2.5 times as much.
- **[The DNS root changes its signing key on October 11](https://blog.cloudflare.com/root-ksk-2024-rollover/)**, only the second time ever. If you run your own DNSSEC-validating resolver, confirm it trusts KSK-2024 (key tag 38696) or your users may be unable to resolve anything. Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 is ready, and it built a browser readiness test using RFC 8509 sentinels.
- **[An encrypted prompt injection makes Copilot CLI leak secrets](https://adversa.ai/blog/cryptographic-context-injection-github-copilot/)** in autopilot mode, says Adversa AI: a web page ships encrypted instructions and a key, and the agent decrypts and follows them, reading `.env` files into an exfiltration URL. Microsoft's mai-code-1.1-flash ran the full chain in half of attempts while two GPT-5.6 models refused, and on Auto model selection you don't see which one you got. GitHub validated the report but didn't treat it as a vulnerability.
- **[PlanetScale adds dedicated read replicas for Postgres](https://planetscale.com/blog/introducing-postgres-dedicated-read-replicas)**, sized independently and placeable in other regions, so you can give pgvector search or analytics their own node away from production writes.

The pitch is that upgrading existing reactors adds firm power faster than building new plants.

**Correction (2026-10-07):** An earlier version said OpenAI's input-only pricing undercut the decision-model category. It's cheaper than Cloudflare's Clef, but about 2.4 times the price of TypeSafe's Jev and Liquid AI's d1. We've added a comparison.
