    Premium is a pricing classification, not a curated list: a model lands on this page when any of its providers charges at least $5 per million input tokens or $15 per million output tokens. The classification is computed directly from catalogue prices, so this page always shows exactly which models are premium right now — every model not listed here is standard.

    The distinction matters for DevPass coding plans, where premium models are subject to a weekly fair-use allowance (a percentage of the plan's monthly credits) on top of the normal credit balance. When you call the LLM Gateway API directly with pay-as-you-go credits, premium models have no extra cap and no markup — you pay the same per-token provider prices shown here.

    Frequently asked questions

    What makes a model premium?

    Pricing alone. A model is premium when at least one of its providers charges $5 or more per million input tokens, or $15 or more per million output tokens. There is no hand-picked list — the classification is recomputed from the live model catalogue, so it updates automatically when prices change.

    Do premium models cost extra on LLM Gateway?

    No. LLM Gateway charges the same per-token provider prices for premium models as for any other model, with no markup. The premium classification only affects DevPass fair-use limits — it never changes what a request costs.

    How do premium models work on DevPass plans?

    DevPass plans include a weekly fair-use allowance for premium models: 12% of monthly credits on Lite, 15% on Pro, and 18% on Max. The allowance works on a fixed 7-day window that opens with your first premium request and fully resets when it ends. Standard models are never affected — they're limited only by the plan's credit balance.

    How do I check whether a specific model is premium?

    If it appears on this page, it's premium; otherwise it's standard. In the full models directory, premium models are marked with a gem icon, and the DevPass models directory offers a pricing-tier filter, since the distinction only affects DevPass fair-use limits. The classification is also documented in the model categories guide in our docs.
