What happened

Between the Oct 5, 2026 and Oct 12, 2026 captures of Upstage's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Launch promo on Solar Pro 4 and Solar Mini 4 cut from 70% to 50% off (Pro 4 until further notice, Mini 4 to Oct 22); promo rates rise (Pro 4 input $0.09 to $0.15). List prices unchanged. Pulse files it as a pricing change (discount change) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Explore at $100, Build at $500, Scale at $5,000, Solar Pro 4 at $0.06 per 1M cached input tokens + $0.30 per 1M input tokens and Solar Pro 3 at $0.15 per 1M input tokens + $0.60 per 1M output tokens.

It lands 7 days after Upstage's previous change, "Upstage API deepens Solar Mini 4 promo to 70% off, sunsets Solar Pro 3" (Oct 5, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Upstage API launches Solar Mini 4 at 50% off: $0.05/1M input through Oct 22" (Sep 28, 2026), "Upstage API promo tapers to 70% off, cuts cost calculator too" (Sep 14, 2026) and "Upstage API: Solar Pro 4 discount extended at 70% off (was reverting to standard price)" (Sep 7, 2026). Upstage has been tracked since 2026-04-29.
