Editor's note
V4 Pro Max is the model we use for self-hosted agent infrastructure where compute and data residency matter more than absolute best-in-class reasoning. The cost gap to Opus 4.8 is roughly 37× on input and 47× on output — and the open-weights license means you can run it on your own metal.Benchmark placements
