"Best price" and the seller table are live AntSeed catalog data (advertised $/1M tokens — or $ per generated image for unit-billed image models — not settled amounts). Reputation = buyer trust score (0-100, the AntSeed SDK's own formula). "Routing" = the SDK's default buyer routing (what the VPR desktop app ships with): a trust ≥ 60 gate on the effective reputation, then cheapest-first among routable sellers; live failover state (per-peer cooldowns) is buyer-side runtime and not included. Model knowledge (TLDR, provider, About) via the VeniceStats enrichment layer. Advertised catalog, not the model used in any specific purchase. "Usage on AntSeed" counts only settlements whose buyers share the per-model split on-chain (metadata v2/v3, opt-in), so every usage figure is a lower bound.
