Provider economics and telemetry published by the Hugging Face Router. These are operational signals, not benchmark results.
Structured rows reported in this exact model repository at the pinned revision below. They are the publisher talking about itself: never measured evidence, never a score input on their own. They remain quarantined until dataset revision, harness, configuration and identity pass ModelCap’s independent admission review.
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.

R1 0528 holds ModelCap Index position #86 of 352 ranked language models as of 6 November 2026, with an Index score of 59.7 (interval 54.7–64.7); evidence: measured. The Index combines public benchmark boards with published uncertainty; the methodology page explains the weighting.
R1 0528 is listed at $0.50 per 1M input tokens and $2.15 per 1M output tokens as of 6 November 2026 across 3 providers. 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 $2.08 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.
R1 0528 has a published context window of 164K tokens (163,840). The snapshot lists a 32,768 token catalogue-declared route output cap. OpenRouter catalogue or provider-endpoint declaration. Limits can vary by provider and prompt length; a model-wide maximum has not been independently verified. The providers table lists each endpoint's context limit.

3 providers serve R1 0528 through OpenRouter as of 6 November 2026: DeepInfra, SiliconFlow and StreamLake. Each provider's price, context limit, quantization and measured uptime are in the providers table above.
R1 0528 has published results on 2 public boards tracked by ModelCap as of 6 November 2026: Arena text 1421 (#133 of 419) and Arena coding 1464 (#136 of 414). Each board page ranks every tracked model on that benchmark. The ModelCap Index scores the results its methodology admits, with published uncertainty, and shows reference boards without scoring them.
R1 0528 ranks #86 (Index 59.7) and DeepSeek V3.2 ranks #82 (Index 60.6) on the ModelCap Index as of 6 November 2026. The head-to-head page lines up their benchmarks, listed prices, context windows and provider counts side by side.
R1 0528 first appeared in the catalogue on 28 May 2025, with a published knowledge cutoff of 2025-03-31. It is the current version in its family. Rank and price movements since then are recorded on the site's changes feed.
