Token cost

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

close-cycle-advisor 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 12d 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.

Non-Accelerated Filer 90 days 45 days
Smaller Reporting Company (public float < $250M) 60 or 90 days 40 or 45 days

Source: SEC Rule 12b-25; 17 CFR §240.12b-25 — https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-17/chapter-II/part-240/section-240.12b-25

Extension available via Form NT 10-K / NT 10-Q (15-calendar-day extension, one-time per period).

Note: 8-K with earnings results typically expected within 4 business days of period close even before 10-Q/K filing.

Deadline from financial year/period end:

Report Deadline
Annual Financial Report 4 months after financial year end

Source: EU Transparency Directive — https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32004L0109

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.
