What this ranking does not tell you
These are list prices for the same open weights served by different providers, nothing more. A cheaper host is not automatically the better one: providers running the same model can still differ in context window, quantisation, throughput, rate limits and region availability, and none of those show up in a price column. Check the provider's own page for the details that matter for your workload before switching.
