Benchmarks

Every result stays attached to its source, version, metric and harness. Scores from different versions are never merged, and the profile below plots each benchmark against its own population rather than on a shared scale.

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.

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.
