Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00467 | $0.00467 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00187 | $0.00187 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00093 | $0.00093 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00047 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
OpenChainBench AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
This is NOT the Next.js you know
This version has breaking changes. APIs, conventions, and file structure may all differ from your training data. Read the relevant guide in node_modules/next/dist/docs/ before writing any code. Heed deprecation notices.
Branch workflow
Two long-lived branches:
main→ openchainbench.com (production). Every push tomaintriggers.github/workflows/prod-deploy.ymlwhich runsvercel --prodautomatically via CI.dev→ staging. Each push triggers.github/workflows/staging-deploy.ymlwhich calls Vercel CLI with a token and emits a Preview URL.
Standard flow:
- Open a feature branch from
dev:git checkout dev && git pull && git checkout -b feat/your-thing - PR
feat/your-thing→dev(NOTmain). After merge, the staging Action posts a Preview URL in the workflow summary. - Review on the Preview URL.
- When the staging state looks ready to ship, open a PR
dev→main. After merge,prod-deploy.ymlruns automatically.
Rules:
- Never push directly to
mainordev. PRs only. - The staging URL emits
<meta robots=noindex>and servesrobots.txt: Disallow /, seesrc/app/robots.tsandsrc/app/layout.tsx. Don't undo without thinking through duplicate-content SEO impact on the prod domain. Vercel Preview SSO is disabled (URL is publicly shareable), so the noindex is the only thing keeping crawlers out. - Hotfix path: if prod is on fire and waiting through
devis unacceptable, open the fix PR directly againstmain, merge (CI deploys automatically), then immediately fast-forwarddevfrommain(git checkout dev && git merge --ff-only main && git push) so the two branches don't diverge. - Required GitHub secrets (repo-level, not environment-scoped):
VERCEL_TOKEN,VERCEL_ORG_ID,VERCEL_PROJECT_ID.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
