Snapshot facts · download the public dataset · methodology
BES normalizes admitted public benchmark evidence for measured Index rows. Its legacy score and observables prior do not define the public language rank.
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.

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.
This model is visible because it is available in the live catalogue, but it has no trustworthy community result yet. ModelCap does not infer a quality score from price, features, or market activity.

Seed 1.6 Flash has no public ModelCap Index position as of 22 September 2026: the snapshot lacks enough matched benchmark evidence, or the identity match is unresolved. Its catalogue facts (price, context, providers) are shown without a rank.
Seed 1.6 Flash is listed at $0.075 per 1M input tokens and $0.30 per 1M output tokens as of 22 September 2026. Prices come from the OpenRouter catalogue and re-observe on every refresh. For 1,000 requests using 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each, the listed rates imply $0.30 total (2M input + 0.5M output). This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the chosen endpoint's rate and limits before budgeting.
Seed 1.6 Flash has a published context window of 262K tokens (262,144) and a maximum output of 33K tokens. Individual providers can serve less than the published maximum; the providers table lists each endpoint's own limit.
API only. No downloadable model weights are linked in the current source data; access is through a hosted API or product.
One provider serves Seed 1.6 Flash through OpenRouter as of 22 September 2026: Seed. Each provider's price, context limit, quantization and measured uptime are in the providers table above.
