Not publicly. It is a research preview; Skyfall’s official page offers a waitlist. Commercial deployment is targeted for early 2027. [skyfall.ai, press release]

No public API has been announced, and there is no published pricing. [Startup Fortune]

Pricing has not been announced. Skyfall’s benchmark lists a running cost of about $0.005 per 3D CAD sample and $0.00237 per BIM plan, but that is the cost of a test run, not a price. [skyfall.ai, Startup Fortune]

No. It produces engineering construction steps for CAD and BIM software. Videos on the official page show the model building designs; they are demonstrations, not the product’s output format. [skyfall.ai, press release]

Skyfall says no: it describes SKY-001 as a hierarchical, latent world model that does not do next-token prediction. [skyfall.ai]

In Skyfall’s own 3D CAD benchmark, SKY-001 scored 79.7% IoU in 3.9 s for $0.005 per sample; GPT-6 Astra scored 79.1% in 199 s for $0.75. No independent benchmark has been published. [skyfall.ai]

Not yet. The figures come from Skyfall. The test set, sample size and method have not been published, and the technical report link on the official page is not live. [skyfall.ai, Startup Fortune]

No. SKY-001 Tracker is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Skyfall AI. For official information go to skyfall.ai/sky-001.
