    Data correction: Grok 4.20 data correction

    Published $2.00/$6.00 was grok-4.5's price, not grok-4.20's. xAI's official per-model table (docs.x.ai/docs/pricing, receipt sha 8cea267d7b) lists Grok 4.20 at $1.25 in / $2.50 out (cached $0.20); grok-4.5 is the $2.00/$6.00 SKU. Our prior receipt anchored on developers/models, which renders only grok-4.5's hero price, so a sibling model's number was published on this row. Data correction, not a market move: xAI did not cut Grok 4.20's price on 2026-07-28. Supersedes the wrong baseline+carry-forward span. Corroborated by the docs/models embedded JSON (grok-4.20 12500/25000 per-token = $1.25/$2.50) and OpenRouter x-ai/grok-4.20 ($1.25/$2.50). (input_per_mtok: $2.00 → $1.25 · output_per_mtok: $6.00 → $2.50)
