241+ * RAISED 2026-09-19 FROM $0.10/$0.30, because the bands above no longer exist
242+ * and the raise is a reprice, not the Ox Alpha mistake. The market moved under
243+ * the fence: Z.ai went to the dear band ($0.15/$0.50), Novita to $0.132/$0.44
244+ * and GMICloud to $0.105/$0.35 — all three preferred endpoints ABOVE the old
245+ * ceiling. What was left under it was DeepInfra (fp4), InferenceNet (deranked,
246+ * stalls 60s with no token) and Relace (intermittent 401 "Invalid API key" and
247+ * 504 idle timeouts from its own upstream). When Merge Gateway threw 429s and
248+ * breaker 503s that morning, ~2,600 diverted turns in ten minutes landed on
249+ * those three: Relace failed ~2,000 of them, InferenceNet stalled ~600 more,
250+ * and DeepInfra — the one healthy survivor — began answering 429.
251+ *
252+ * $0.14/$0.45 sits strictly above Novita ($0.132/$0.44) and strictly below the
253+ * $0.141/$0.47 and $0.15/$0.50 endpoints, so the dear band stays fenced out
254+ * (verified live: a `z-ai`-only request under this ceiling 404s). The endpoints
255+ * that fail in ways a ceiling cannot express are refused by name — see
