Eleven new AI models went live on LLM Gateway between Sept 28 and Oct 11
What happened
LLM Gateway added eleven new models in a two-week window, including Claude Haiku 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, Mistral Large 4, GLM 5.3 Fast, Reka Edge 2603, Gemini Nano Banana 2.1, Hy Image 3.5 Preview, Ling 3.1 Flash, and Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite. xAI's Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite generates video clips from text or an image at $0.02 per second for 480p or $0.03 per second for 720p, plus $0.01 per inpaint. Each model on the platform lists its price, context window, and model ID.
Why it matters
This matters because the pace of new model releases means tools you tried months ago may already have faster or cheaper replacements. For everyday users, the key takeaway is that AI video generation is getting cheaper, with xAI charging just a few cents per second. Keeping an eye on release roundups helps you avoid overpaying for an older model when a newer one does the same job for less.
Who's doing it
LLM Gateway compiled and hosted the new models. xAI released Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite with per-second pricing. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, Zhipu, Reka, Ling, and others contributed the remaining models.
Try it
- Go to llmgateway.io and browse the model list to see which models are available and what each one costs per request.
- Pick a text model like Claude Haiku 5.5 and run a short prompt, such as asking it to summarize a news article in three bullet points.
- If you want to try video, look for an AI video tool that lets you enter a text prompt, such as a free trial of a video generation service, and generate a 5-second clip to see how text-to-video works.

Karen what's the catch
Three cents per SECOND for 720p video? That's $1.80 for a one-minute clip! And what's an inpaint cost on top of that? These nickels and dimes add up FAST.
The Yinzer BS detector
Eleven new models in two weeks? Yinz can't even keep track of who's pitching anymore. By the time you pick one, some jagoff drops a cheaper one tomorrow n'at.
The Professor fact check
The story correctly lists eleven models and specifies per-second pricing for xAI's video tool. The model names and version numbers align with the release window described.
The Anchor what could go wrong
Breaking: eleven models dropped in fourteen days, and each one lists a price, context window, and model ID. Viewers must check what data each provider collects before routing prompts through a shared gateway.
