Rocinante 12B is the lowest-priced TheDrummer model with public pricing at $0.17/1M input tokens. It suits high-volume tasks where cost matters most — classification, extraction, summarization, and similar workloads that don't need frontier reasoning.
Skyfall 36B V2 is TheDrummer's highest-tier model at $0.55/1M input. It delivers the most sophisticated reasoning, instruction-following, and nuance. For workloads that don't require frontier performance, a mid-tier model typically cuts inference costs substantially.

These rates appear in the table above under "Cached /1M" and "Batch /1M." Caching pays off quickly if your prompts share a long system prompt or document prefix across many calls.
