fix(pricing): sync Grok rates to xAI's published rate (blockrun#503) - #335
Conversation
The gateway repriced six Grok SKUs to xAI's list price on 2026-09-04, removing a resale spread of up to +140% on output. This repo quoted the old numbers. xai/grok-4.3 $1.50/$4.00 -> $1.25/$2.50 xai/grok-4.5 $2.50/$9.00 -> $2.00/$6.00 xai/grok-build-0.1 $1.50/$3.00 -> $1.00/$2.00 No price guard reaches this repo — the gateway's drift sweep covers its own sheets only, and brand/consumers.json lists 15 repos it cannot see. Found by grep. CHANGELOG entries left alone on purpose: a dated entry records what the price was that day.

- Line 525: Update the xAI model pricing rows identified by xai/grok-4.3 and the
adjacent rows at 528–529 to include the settlement fee in their ~$/request
estimates, using approximately $0.0029, $0.0050, and $0.0025 for 500 input and
500 output tokens; leave the token pricing columns unchanged.

Follow-on to blockrun#503 (live in production since 2026-09-04).
Six Grok SKUs on the gateway carried a resale spread over xAI's published rate — up to +140% on output — while the site claimed "provider list price on chat tokens, no markup". The prices were moved rather than the claim, so
blockrun.ainow bills xAI list on every Grok SKU:xai/grok-4.3xai/grok-4.5xai/grok-build-0.1Verified against
docs.x.ai/docs/models; the blockrun-sol agent independently re-checked all 24 numbers (both axes, both tiers) against OpenRouter's live endpoint list.No price guard reaches this repo —
brand/consumers.jsonlists 15 repos and the sweep that catches drift only covers the gateway's own sheets. These were found by grep, not by CI.CHANGELOG entries are deliberately unchanged. A dated entry records what the price was on that day; rewriting it would misreport history. Only live claims and executable values are updated.
