What you need to know about Pareto 26.10
Pareto 26.10 was released by Unbiased on October 15, 2026. It accepts text and images as input and produces text. Its context window reaches 1,048,576 tokens, larger than 93 % of the models in the registry, and it can write up to 131,072 tokens in one go.
It is a recent model: real-world feedback and independent scores are still scarce.
Pareto 26.10 pricing
On OpenRouter, Pareto 26.10 costs $0.8 per million input tokens and $3.2 per million output tokens. Counting three tokens read for every token written, its average price is $1.4 per million, more expensive than 64 % of paid models (1.8 times the median of $0.76).
A concrete example: a task that sends 2,000 tokens (about 1,500 words) and receives a 500-token answer costs $0.0032. At 1,000 tasks a day, budget $96 a month. The price calculator redoes this with your own volumes.
Tokens already sent and cached are billed at $0.03 per million.
