My bet is that OpenRouter began steering GPT-5.6-sol users towards flex tier, which is already 50% off.

So this isn’t really a price cut. As to why, lots of possible reasons. Perhaps an agreement with OpenAI to help them drive up more diverse traffic priorities.

CSAM, and other harms, are typically detected using a set of specially trained, faster and cheaper models (and out of band matching techniques) that run before and after the main model.

Any mention in the system prompt is mostly defense in depth, and to make refusals more graceful.

Is it really that unusual? When you attach an image or a video, it gets converted to tokens you don’t see, at a rate that is proprietary to the model. You pay for those tokens, but don’t see them. Even how text is converted to tokens is a property of the dictionary, which is opaque for proprietary models.

There are features of input and output that are opaque to you, but that you pay for. Part of how model providers chose to run their service.

Demoiselle crane flies over Himalayas and over Everest during its yearly migration, so it'd be flying at least 30k feet high.

I only know that from Planet Earth documentary, which was such a great show!

Unless I screwed up the math, they would be quarter of a light year apart. Plenty of space for each black hole to form its own accretion disk.

Kepler’s laws should still provide a pretty good estimate, at least until black holes get much closer. I did a quick back of the envelope calculation, and looks like they’ll be roughly 14k astronomical units, or 0.22 light years apart.

1604. One could say we are overdue. I’m not sure about dust or other obstacles blocking it, but based on brightness alone a supernova in our galaxy should be visible with naked eye.

It would be. Which is why any pair of orbiting bodies will eventually collide.

It’s just that for black holes this effect is insignificant (a merger would take much longer than the age of the Universe) until they get close to each other, much closer than 1 parsec.
