Value ranking

Best value on Time to First Token

Median time from request to first output chunk in milliseconds on the model's first-party API for medium-length prompts. Lower is snappier; reasoning models are penalised here because they think before talking.

“Value” is normalized benchmark score (0–100 for this leaderboard cohort) divided by input price per million tokens. Higher means more capability per dollar on this axis only — always sanity-check latency, context length, and your real workload.
