Ranked shortlist

Benchmark scores, output speed, and cost-per-task figures are from Artificial Analysis (Intelligence Index v4.2). 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.
