What changed this week

At a glance: top 3 on the most trusted benchmark per task

Thinking effort

Effort curves

Same model, more thinking. Score at each effort level, low to max.

Cost

Cost per task, by kind of task

What one task costs each model at its highest tested effort. Log scale; left is cheaper. Agentic tasks cost 10 to 1000 times more than a Q&A.

Generations

Generation lineage

How each product line moved from one generation to the next on the same benchmark (best effort of each).

Everything at once

Heat table

Best-effort score of each model on each benchmark. Colour = rank within that column (darker = better). Click a model for its page, a column for the benchmark.
