27 models show .00 (599.6M tokens unpriced) — suffix variants (:thinking, :cloud, -TEE) not resolved via LiteLLM #629

Description

@morpheus9393

Summary

CodeBurn shows $0.00 for 27 models that are not in LiteLLM's pricing database, totaling 599.6M input tokens and 1.9M output tokens of unpriced usage. These appear as "$0" rows in the dashboard and distort the total cost (which is understated).

The affected models fall into three categories:

  1. Thinking/reasoning variants (:thinking suffix) — e.g. glm-4.7:thinking, glm-5:thinking, kimi-k2.6:thinking
  2. Cloud variants (:cloud suffix) — e.g. deepseek-v4-pro:cloud, minimax-m3:cloud
  3. TEE variants and other model IDs not in LiteLLM — e.g. GLM-4.7-TEE, Kimi-K2.5-TEE, MiMo-V2-Flash, KAT-Coder-Pro-V1

Total: 27 unpriced models, 599.6M input + 1.9M output tokens

Suggested improvements

1. Suffix stripping (like the cx/ prefix fix)

Many of these models are variants of known models with a suffix that LiteLLM doesn't index:

  • :thinking → strip to get base model (e.g. glm-5:thinkingglm-5 → $1.40/$4.40 per 1M)
  • :cloud → strip to get base model (e.g. deepseek-v4-pro:clouddeepseek-v4-pro → $0.43/$0.87 per 1M)
  • -TEE → strip to get base model (e.g. GLM-4.7-TEEglm-4.7 → known price)

2. Fuzzy matching fallback

For models like MiMo-V2-Flash, KAT-Coder-Pro-V1, qwen3-max-2026-01-23 that don't have a simple suffix relationship, a fuzzy match against LiteLLM keys (e.g. mimo-v2-flashminimax/mimo-v2-flash) would catch most cases.

3. User-configurable aliases

CodeBurn already has codeburn model-alias for manual mapping, but it requires the user to know every unpriced model. A built-in fallback that auto-strips common suffixes (:thinking, :cloud, -TEE, -free) before giving up would reduce the manual burden significantly.
