The shipped price table is generated from LiteLLM's price map at build time, so a model released after the build is priced by its family row. claude-opus-5-5 was charged at claude-opus-5's rates for nine days, 1.68x what the gateway billed, although LiteLLM had listed it a week before the first request. A local install now downloads the same file at startup and hourly, runs it through the same pricegen transform, and swaps it in with the config. An unchanged file answers 304 with no body. The last good copy is kept in ~/.cortex/price-list.json for restarts and offline starts, and a failed or unusable download changes nothing. Sidecars keep the compiled-in table and make no new outbound call. Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughPricing tables can use rates from LiteLLM’s price list. Local installs fetch and cache the list, apply updates to live pricing tables, and report when the list was downloaded. Bundled pricing remains available when no list is used or bundled pricing is disabled. ChangesRuntime LiteLLM pricing

Validate downloaded entries before saving the cache.
pricegen.Filter and pricegen.Entries accept valid JSON maps that contain Anthropic keys such as Foo and foo, or an invalid glob such as [. Fetch saves these entries and records their ETag before livePricing.setList calls pricing.BuildWithList. NewTable then rejects the duplicate or invalid model pattern.
The rejected list replaces the last-good cache. A restart restores the rejected list and its ETag, and an offline run cannot recover the previous cache. Validate the transformed entries with the same table compiler before save; this preserves the existing zero-Anthropic-entry rejection and prevents these map-level failures from reaching persistence.

Reviewed the fetcher (conditional GET, size cap, refusal ladder), the BuildWithList merge (list-over-bundled dedup, config outranks list, bundled: false), and the livePricing coordinator. Verified the reload/download race handling under the single lock, that BundledEnabled() is nil-receiver safe, and that applyPricing's new nil guard is consistent with the reloader's commit path. Tests cover 304s, refused lists, the saved copy surviving restart, and the reload race.
One suggestion inline on the trust model of the main URL. From the deferred list, the item I'd file as a follow-up issue: a list NewTable rejects is still saved with its ETag, so after a restart a 304 can strand the install off the last good download — the fix you sketch (validate before saving or keeping the ETag) closes it.

Trust-model note: at runtime this trusts whatever LiteLLM's main branch currently serves — integrity rests on HTTPS plus the structural refusals (status, size, parse, ≥1 Anthropic row), with no version pinning or rate-plausibility check. Blast radius is cost-report accuracy, not authz, and the same source is already trusted at build time, so this is fine to ship. If you want a cheap bound later: either a per-row sanity check (reject rates wildly outside the family's range) or a commit-ref URL bumped on a schedule would limit what a bad push to main can do to ledgers.

Summary
A local install now downloads LiteLLM's price list at startup and then hourly, instead of pricing only from the table compiled into the binary. A model released after the build gets its real price as soon as LiteLLM lists it, with no Cortex release needed.
Why
bundled.gois generated from LiteLLM'smodel_prices_and_context_window.json, pinned at build time (ee7c7e14). That table has noclaude-opus-5-5row, so the*claude-*opus-*family row priced it at Opus 5's rates ($5 / $25 / $0.50 / $6.25 per Mtok). Opus 5.5 is $4 / $20 / $0.20 / $5. On one laptop's ledger, Opus 5.5 cost came to $4,692 against the $2,757 LiteLLM's dashboard billed for the same tokens, about 1.68x too high.LiteLLM listed Opus 5.5 on 2026-09-22, a week before its first request reached the proxy. Running today's list through the existing
pricegen.Entriesgivesclaude-opus-5-5at $4 / $0.20 / $5 / $20. With the shipped 0.76 multiplier, that equals the gateway's ownx-litellm-response-cost-originalon 212 of 212 non-streamed requests sampled.What changes
core/cost/pricing/pricelist(new): checks the list withIf-None-Match, so an unchanged file answers304with no body. It parses the file with the samepricegentransform asbundled.goand keeps the last good copy in~/.cortex/price-list.json. A download that fails, has an error status, is over 16 MiB, or has no Anthropic rows changes nothing.pricing.BuildWithList:Buildwith the downloaded rows. The shipped discount and free rates still apply,pricing:still outranks the list, andbundled: falseturns it off.Build(cfg)is nowBuildWithList(cfg, nil).cmd/cortex:livePricingrebuilds the table from the accepted config and the latest list, under one lock. A config reload therefore can't put back an older list, and a download can't drop the config. The downloader runs only on a local install; sidecars make no new outbound call and keep the compiled-in table.agentop pricingreportsrates from litellm's price list, downloaded <time>.
