Lowest listed price

Answer in brief

The lowest listed price is the lowest paid rate published for a model on the day it was read, stated with that date.

Lowest listed price in practice

It is a published figure, not a quote. It can change without notice, and it can belong to a listing with reduced precision, a shorter context window or low limits.

A model has two: one for input and one for output. They are often on different listings. Free listings are not counted.
