  Targon uses a usage-based, pay-as-you-go pricing model with per-token rates
  for chat and text completions served by Bittensor Subnet 4 miners. Pricing
  varies by model and is set by the decentralized marketplace; image generation
  and search are metered per request. At various points Targon has offered free
  API and Playground access while bootstrapping the network, so current rates
  must be confirmed against the live console. Specific per-model rates are not
  reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Targon inference is produced by a marketplace of miners on Bittensor Subnet 4
  and validated on-chain; per-model token rates are market-driven and change
  over time. Verify current rates and any free-tier promotions in the Targon
  console at https://targon.com during reconciliation.
