 ### Added — Qwen3.8 Flash, DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision, MiMo-V2.5
 - **`qwen/qwen3.8-flash`** ($0.15/M in · $0.47/M out, 1M context, **image input**) — 125B MoE with GDN+QSA hybrid attention. Alibaba positions it above Qwen3.7 **Plus**, which we sell at $0.32/$1.28, so it is both newer and cheaper than the tier it beats.
-- **`deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp`** ($0.44/M · $1.32/M, 1M context, **image input**) — our first DeepSeek model that takes images. Served direct from DeepSeek; the OpenRouter route is unavailable under our account's data policy. Priced at DeepSeek's **peak** rate, since their new peak/off-peak split (peak 01:00–04:00 and 06:00–10:00 UTC, Mon–Fri) would otherwise put it below cost for seven hours every weekday.

 - **`xiaomi/mimo-v2.5`** ($0.14/M · $0.28/M, 1M context, **image input**) — the natively multimodal MiMo SKU, distinct from (and a third the price of) the text-only `mimo-v2.5-pro` we already listed.

 - Also 410: the hidden **`nvidia/nemotron-super-49b`**, which was simultaneously the free cascade's tertiary rung and the fallback of its primary — both retargeted in the same change.
 - Added **`nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning`** (thinking-mode reasoning, 131K context, ~35 tok/s), **`nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-30b`** (~121 tok/s, the fastest free model in the catalog) and **`nvidia/llama-3.2-11b-vision`** (Meta Llama 3.2, 128K context, image input) — each verified with a real completion through the gateway before listing.

 ### Changed — Grok long-context pricing now mirrors xAI's official 2x tier
-- xAI (and OpenRouter) bill the Grok family at **2x above 200K prompt tokens**. BlockRun now applies the same tier: once a request's prompt reaches 200K tokens, the whole request reprices at the long-context rate — `grok-4.5` $5.00/$18.00, `grok-4.3` $3.00/$8.00, `grok-build-0.1` $3.00/$6.00, `grok-4.20` $4.00/$12.00 per 1M. Below 200K, base rates are unchanged.

 ### Changed — Virtual Portrait enrollment dropped to $0.01 (parity with RealFace)
-- **`POST /api/v1/portrait/enroll`**: $0.50 → **$0.01 USDC**. Token360 charges nothing for asset storage, so per-enrollment margin was always trivial; the old $0.50 was friction without offsetting cost. Now matches RealFace pricing — both are 1¢ to encourage adoption, and we make our money on the downstream Seedance per-clip revenue.
