What the monthly comparison proves
Alibaba's published CNY rates are normalized with the Federal Reserve H.10 rate of 6.7412 CNY per USD dated 2026-08-14. FX movement, taxes, batch pricing, long-context bands, regional availability, and service quality are outside the ranking.
A row qualifies only when the exact model route, channel, region, mode, tier, and input/output meters match the reviewed definition. Cached input becomes mandatory when your cached-input volume is above zero.
