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 strip shows every published score for that benchmark, with this model marked. The lighter shape behind the ticks is the density of results, and the dashed line is the median.

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.
