Our take
Written Sep 2, 2026Weaver is a proprietary text-only model from Mancer with an eight-thousand-token request limit, released in 2023. It is a bare-bones hosted option for teams who need basic text generation and can trade features for predictable cost.
Pick this only when cost is the overriding constraint and you do not need benchmarked quality or a wide choice of hosts. Skip it if you need measured quality scores, multimodal input, a longer request limit, or competitive pricing between providers.
The case for it
- Identical pricing across both tracked hosts — no premium on either.
- Small enough provider set to evaluate quickly, with only two offers to compare.
The case against it
- No benchmark scores on file for chat, reasoning, coding or knowledge.
- Only two tracked offers with identical pricing and no competitive differentiation.
- Eight-thousand-token request limit, narrow for a 2023 release with no extended variant.
How good is it?
We hold no score for this model.
So there is no figure here for everyday use, coding, agent work or writing. That is a gap in our data, not a low score.
Where to rent it
Prices checked 4 hours ago — each listing carries its own date.
Why this differs from the header. The strip above quotes Mancer 2's own list price; this is the cheapest live offer, whoever is serving it — a reseller undercutting a lab is ordinary commerce, not an error.

What each host's API supports
