AI model benchmarks

The independent measurements I track, what each one actually tests, and which current models lead it. Every score links to the board that ran it, with the date I checked it. Lab reported numbers are kept out of this page on purpose.

How to read these

  • Top score is the best current model on that board. Older and retired models are left out.
  • Best value is the most score per blended dollar (three parts input to one part output, per million tokens), among models within 60% of the leader, so a cheap model that cannot do the task never wins it.
  • No single number picks a model. Shortlist two or three here, then test them on your own tasks. The full directory has prices and context for every model, scored or not.
