Models

The labs keep shipping. This page is the current flagship cut: closed APIs from Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, Moonshot, xAI, and Alibaba, plus the open-weight models that actually sit next to them on a shared harness — DeepSeek, GLM, MiMo, MiniMax, Mistral, Muse Spark Open, Kimi, Qwen, Gemma. Quality is the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0, not a press-release table. v5.0 is a new, harder composite: scores run much lower than the v4.x numbers we used before and are not comparable to them.

Prices are USD per million tokens on the first-party (or AA-measured) API; Gemini rows show Google's introductory list prices. If a field is missing, it is a dash, not a guess. Rows with a dash for Index are current downloadable models AA has not yet scored on v5.0. We do not treat every 7B fine-tune as a frontier model.

Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0

Higher is better. Navy is frontier / API-only. Accent is open weight. Effort settings are the ones AA scored, not always the lab default. Bars are scaled to this board's score range (not from zero).
