How this position was produced · fused launch placement
No general-family board lists this model yet. Its point estimate is the precision-weighted mean of every channel that spoke for it; each channel’s share is the weight it carried. Independent measurements replace this placement as boards list the model.

These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.
The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.
Not yet published: a current serving provider, measured provider uptime, published provider pricing, declared context and output limits, admitted benchmark results, results across several capability areas, results from more than one source, a confident match to its benchmark entries, pinned evaluation dataset versions.
A metadata completeness and deployability index—not a safety certification, quality grade, or production-readiness claim.
Market Gravity uses OpenRouter’s full-catalogue popularity order. Sparse Vercel top-ten observations appear only when published and do not affect the score.
