Pareto 26.9 is a multimodal language model developed by Other. It's particularly well-suited for analyzing images, screenshots, and visual content, orchestrating tool-using agents that call APIs and external services, producing structured outputs for reliable data extraction and handling large contexts of up to 262K tokens. Its 262K-token context window means you can pass in entire documents, codebases, or conversation histories without losing context. It can write up to 131K tokens in a single response.
As of Oct 21, 2026, Pareto 26.9 costs $1.50 per 1M input tokens and $4.50 per 1M output tokens on Qubax, versus $2.50 / $7.50 on OpenRouter (40% less on input). A typical 1,000 chat requests (2K tokens in, 500 out) come to about $5.25. Pay with USDC, USDT, BTC, ETH or 350+ other coins — no credit card required.
