What "needs update" usually means

1. A new flagship model shipped from a tracked provider. Add it to that provider's models[].
2. A tracked model was deprecated or sunset. Either remove the entry or mark its tier appropriately.
3. A provider changed pricing for a tracked model. Update inputPrice / outputPrice.
4. A new provider has become noteworthy enough to add. Add a new providers[] entry.

What it usually does NOT mean

• Research papers about models (those land on /research).
• Beta or preview models that are not generally available.
• Open-source model fine-tunes (those belong in /best-open-source-llms if anywhere).

Bump lastUpdated in data/pricing.json whenever you change anything else in the file. Also bump last_reviewed for /models in data/page-freshness.json.
