Benchmarks

Scores a lab published about its own model are claims, not measurements. Rankings elsewhere on this site use independently measured scores only.

Weights

Prices are per million tokens (USD). “—” means the provider does not publicly list a price for this model. Data from models.dev; verify with the provider before purchasing.
