Reviewed reading

The Grok week-43 brief is retained at digests/external/weekly/2026-W43-grok.md and stays unverified as a whole. The pass against ledger captures is publication 2181566caba12b0325c604b53168a6c02acaeddcc88cefaf3963d1a46ee60f23.

Included from captures: the 22 October OpenRouter capture does not list moonshotai/kimi-k3.1-pro. The 23 October capture lists it as MoonshotAI: Kimi K3.1 Pro, context 1048576, prompt 0.000002 and completion 0.00001 per token. The 25 October capture lists those same fields. The 20 October pricing capture lists Max 5x and Max 20x, Opus 5.5 at $4 / $20 per million tokens, and Sonnet 5.5 at $2 / $10 with cache read $0.10. It does not contain Claude Duet or Ultra. The 21 October pricing capture adds the navigation label Claude Duet and no other visible line names Duet. The 25 October pricing capture lists the same Opus and Sonnet rates, the Haiku 5.5 tiers at $0.10 / $0.50 and $0.50 / $2.50, Max 5x and Max 20x, and the Duet label.

Left out: the Kimi weights promise, the 33% cut, the cost-per-task figure, the parameter count, and the index scores; the Duet product description; the training-isolation announcement; the PHP disclosures; the financing, capacity, UK, EU, and draft-bill items; and Moonshot's training-material statement. Frontier, Efficient, and Budget are not assigned. Price readings are in frontier/readings-2026-W43.md.

Editorial follow-up

Source-update sections above remain unextracted change notices. This pass does not make the external brief a belief.
