How these rankings work

Capability hubs (coding, chatbots, reasoning, multimodal, open source, fast inference, enterprise) rank generally-available models by a named independent benchmark — SWE-bench Verified, LMArena Elo, GPQA Diamond, the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, or measured throughput — with each model's verified price beside its score. Models the leaderboards haven't scored yet stay listed below the scored ones, cheapest first, rather than being given an invented score.

Price hubs (cheapest API, prompt caching, long context, embeddings) keep their intrinsic sort — there the metric itself is the point. All pricing is sourced from — and linked to — official provider pages, refreshed twice daily; benchmark data comes from independent leaderboards and is cited on each model page.
