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 | $0.00144 | $0.00144 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00058 | $0.00058 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00029 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00014 |
Grade A, and why
ACE-Step-Studio 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 1mo 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
ACE-Step Studio guidelines
This is a native Windows desktop studio: Tauri 2 shell, Rust/Axum service and native C++/CUDA engines.
- Do not add Python or Node.js to the runtime path.
- Model engines are adapters; no UI or server code may hardcode one model's behaviour.
- Provider choice is capability-level: music, ASR, LLM and cover art can independently be Local or OpenRouter.
- Keep OpenRouter model identifiers in provider configuration, not source code.
- Every local engine must expose install state, capability metadata, cancellation and progress before it reaches the UI.
- Model weights, API keys, media and caches are runtime user data; never commit them.
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.
