Intelligence vs cost

Where models sit on intelligence and cost

One explorer for 686 models: Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index against cost per task, with speed and ranked shortlists. Token prices for models in the calculator use the same validated rates as the cost estimates. Token prices update on the daily price review.

Benchmark ranking

Score / cost sorts by intelligence divided by the square root of benchmark cost per task. This heuristic does not rank suitability for your workload.

Benchmark scores, output speed, and cost-per-task figures are from Artificial Analysis (Intelligence Index v4.3). They are task-dependent and not a substitute for your own evaluation. Token prices for mapped models come from Model Cost Comparison's validated dataset (same rates as the calculator). Unmapped models show AA-reported list prices.
