Union Alpha said to be a router, not a new model
A day after launch, Union Alpha is said to be Pareto 26.9 from TheUnbiasedCo, a router that runs several open and frontier models on the same task and calls a stronger one when needed, priced at $2.50/$7.50 per million tokens, under a quarter of Astra's price.
Union Alpha already leaked after one day, way faster than GLM did. It's Pareto 26.9 from @TheUnbiasedCo. Seems like it's not a new model at all, it's a router. A few open and frontier models work the same task, and a harness calls in a stronger one when it needs to. Shoulda told us ahead of time. Had me excited about how good the model was. Their price is at $2.50 in and $7.50 out per million tokens and under a quarter of Astra's price.
