The Lodestar Index is the single number we publish daily: the cheapest blended cost (USD per 1M tokens) of any LLM API at quality ≥ 80 — i.e. the floor price of production-grade intelligence. It is an AI-inference CPI: when it falls, running AI got cheaper for everyone. We snapshot it every build; the series below is data no one launching today can reconstruct.
