What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

contractor-1099 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.

1099 Contractor Management

Track payments to independent contractors, determine who needs a 1099-NEC, collect W-9s, and file on time to avoid penalties.

When do you need to file a 1099-NEC?

File a 1099-NEC for each person or non-corporate entity to whom you paid $600 or more during the calendar year for services performed in the course of your trade or business.

Threshold change for 2026: Starting with tax year 2026, the reporting threshold increases from $600 to $2,000. This means fewer 1099s to file, but you should still track all contractor payments — the threshold could change again.

Who needs a 1099-NEC?

Payee type 1099-NEC required? Notes
Individual (sole proprietor, freelancer) Yes if ≥$600 Most common scenario
Single-member LLC (disregarded entity) Yes if ≥$600 Treated as individual for tax purposes
Partnership / Multi-member LLC Yes if ≥$600
S-Corporation Generally no Exception: payments for legal services and medical/health care services always require a 1099 regardless of entity type
C-Corporation Generally no Same exceptions as S-Corp: legal and medical services
Payments via credit/debit card or third-party networks No The payment processor (Stripe, PayPal, Venmo, Square) reports these on 1099-K instead. You don't double-report.
Employees No They get a W-2, not a 1099
Rent paid to real estate agents No (1099-NEC) Gets 1099-MISC instead
Payments for merchandise/inventory No 1099-NEC is for services, not goods

The W-9: Get it before you pay

Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number) collects the information you need to file a 1099. Collect it from every contractor before making the first payment. This is critical — chasing down W-9s in January when you're trying to file is miserable.

What the W-9 provides: Legal name, business name (if different), federal tax classification (individual, LLC, corporation, etc.), address, and TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number — either SSN or EIN).

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.
