Ember-1 or Solar Pro 4: which to pick
Only Ember-1 has a coding score, 52.6 on the Vibe Coding Index; Solar Pro 4 has none, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Pick Solar Pro 4 for output tokens 25.0x cheaper ($0.60 vs $15.00 per million).
No benchmark has tested both yet. Ember-1 has results on Terminal-Bench 4 (Vals AI), Vibe Code Bench (Vals AI) and Code migration (Vals AI); Solar Pro 4 on LMArena WebDev, AA Coding Index and SciCode. Compare them on price and context instead.

What each workload costs
Three fixed token mixes at each model's listed price, so per-token rates become a bill.
Chat turn
1K input + 500 output tokens
Solar Pro 4 costs less
Repository review
50K input + 3K output tokens
Solar Pro 4 costs less
Agent loop
200K input + 10K output tokens
Solar Pro 4 costs less
Listed OpenRouter rates, without cache or batch discounts. A workload that does not fit a model's context window would need splitting.
