Description
Summary	Microsoft MAI-Transcribe-2 speech-to-text. Billed per second of audio.	Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic's Sonnet-class model for well-scoped everyday work, serving as a direct upgrade to Sonnet 5. It excels at feature development, bug fixing, and creating polished documents, presentations, and spreadsheets, while offering clearer writing and communication than its predecessor.	DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is a cost-efficient sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model in DeepSeek's V4.1 family, optimized for coding, reasoning, and agentic workflows. Despite its efficiency-focused positioning, DeepSeek reports that it surpasses the previous V4 Pro in performance, inference speed, and overall task completion time. The model is particularly strong at long-horizon, multi-step execution, making it well suited for coding agents, complex problem solving, and autonomous workflows that must reliably carry tasks through to completion.	Fish Audio S2 Pro text-to-speech. Billed per UTF-8 byte of input text.
