Weaver (alpha): pricing, context and benchmarks

What you need to know about Weaver (alpha)

Weaver (alpha) was released by Mancer on August 2, 2023. It accepts text as input and produces text. Its context window reaches 8,000 tokens, larger than 1 % of the models in the registry, and it can write up to 6,000 tokens in one go.

Released more than 3 years ago, it belongs to a generation most vendors have since superseded.

Weaver (alpha) pricing

On OpenRouter, Weaver (alpha) costs $0.4 per million input tokens and $0.75 per million output tokens. Counting three tokens read for every token written, its average price is $0.488 per million, more expensive than 41 % of paid models (1.6 times cheaper than 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 $0.0012. At 1,000 tasks a day, budget $35 a month. The price calculator redoes this with your own volumes.

Features, privacy and local use

• It does not support tool calling: it is not suited to driving an AI agent that has to act.

• Its knowledge stops at June 2023.

Its weights are not published: it can only be used through the Mancer API or a broker such as OpenRouter, which means sending your data off your machines.
