Channel System Simplification and Pricing Adjustment Announcement
Dear CloudRouter users,
Due to the continued rise in model operations costs and the volatility of upstream channel pricing, and in order to ensure the long-term stable operation and service quality of the platform, after a comprehensive assessment by our team, we have decided to streamline and optimize the existing channel system. The details of the adjustment are as follows:
1. Overview of Channel Adjustments
The original 6 channel tiers (x0.6, x1, x1.5, x2, x4, x6) will be streamlined into 4 channel tiers (x1.5, x2.5, x4, x6).
Discontinued Channels
| Channel Name | Original Multiplier | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Trial Promo Channel | x0.6 | Discontinued |
| Quality Select Channel | x1.5 | Discontinued |
Adjusted Channels
| Channel Name | Original Multiplier | Adjusted Multiplier | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smart Enjoy Channel | x1 | x1.5 | Multiplier increased |
| Official Business Channel | x2 | x2.5 | Multiplier increased |
2. New Channel System
| Channel Name | Multiplier | Channel Description | Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smart Enjoy Channel | x1.5 | Third-party resource integration, cost-effectiveness first | Daily conversation, light development, personal use |
| Official Business Channel | x2.5 | Platform-owned official resources, higher stability | Medium-to-high frequency usage, team collaboration |
| Official Premium Channel | x4 | Official API / Amazon Bedrock API | Professional development, production environments, Agent calls |
| Official Flagship Channel | x6 | Official API / Amazon Bedrock API, dedicated account pool, highest scheduling priority | Mission-critical workloads, low-latency high-concurrency scenarios |
3. Adjustment Details
Why streamline the channels?
- Upstream channel price volatility has caused the operating costs of low-multiplier channels to invert, making it difficult to maintain service quality
- Streamlining channels helps concentrate resources to ensure the stability and availability of each tier
- It reduces the complexity of channel selection and lowers users' decision-making costs
Impact on Existing Users
- Users of the original x0.6 and x1 channels: We recommend migrating to the x1.5 Smart Enjoy Channel
- Users of the original x2 channel: We recommend migrating to the x2.5 Official Business Channel
- Users of the original x4 and x6 channels: Usage is not affected
Effective Time
- This announcement takes effect immediately. The discontinued channels will be taken offline within 3 calendar days after the announcement is published
- The new channel system will be rolled out gradually over the next 1-2 weeks. Please stay tuned for follow-up notices
4. How to Choose the Right Channel
| Your Needs | Recommended Channel |
|---|---|
| Cost control, sufficient for everyday use | x1.5 Smart Enjoy Channel |
| Balance of cost and stability | x2.5 Official Business Channel |
| Professional development / API calls / Agent | x4 Official Premium Channel |
| Mission-critical workloads / ultimate performance and priority | x6 Official Flagship Channel |
We understand that channel adjustments may cause short-term inconvenience, but this streamlining will significantly improve the stability and service quality of each channel. If you encounter any issues during use, please feel free to contact our technical support team.
