Each axis is this model's percentile among the 8 benchmarks it has published results for, measured against every other model with a score on that same benchmark. Percentiles are used because benchmarks do not share a scale — a 60 on one is not a 60 on another. Hover any point for the raw score.

Input price per million tokens (log scale)
Index
The stepped line is the efficient frontier: at each price, the best score available for that money or less. A model sitting on it is not being beaten by anything cheaper. Price is log-scaled because listed rates span four orders of magnitude. Only models with both a listed price and a score on this benchmark can appear.
