Benchmarks

preference

Chatbot Arena EloFresh
Elo

Crowdsourced pairwise human preference rankings of LLM responses. Higher Elo means more frequently preferred by users.

agentic

SWE-bench VerifiedSome risk
% resolved

Real GitHub issues solved end-to-end. Verified subset is a 500-task human-validated slice of SWE-bench.

performance

Output SpeedN/A
tok/s

Median output speed in tokens per second over the last 14 days on the model maker's own API, measured nightly with a fixed ~800-token prompt and ~250-token answer. Models not yet probed fall back to a dated manual figure. Higher is faster.

Time to First TokenN/A
ms

Median time from request to first streamed token in milliseconds over the last 14 days on the model maker's own API, using the same nightly probe prompt. Lower is snappier; reasoning models are penalised here because they think before talking.

general

Rolling Contamination-Controlled AverageFresh
/100

Contamination-controlled average across every task category in the latest rolling release (e.g. reasoning, coding, data analysis, research, browsing, long-horizon tasks). Questions are rotated with each release and graded against objective ground truth, removing the need for LLM-as-judge scoring. Only models with a score in every category get an average.

data analysis

Rolling Data AnalysisFresh
/100

Rolling contamination-controlled data-analysis evaluation. Table comprehension, CSV / spreadsheet reasoning, SQL-style joins, and chart interpretation. Refreshed every six months with new tables and questions to minimise contamination.

coding

Aider PolyglotFresh
%

Real-world refactoring and bug-fix tasks across multiple programming languages, scored by whether the model produces a passing patch in Aider's edit format. Tests practical coding ability beyond single-file generation; harder than HumanEval and not yet saturated.

Anonymised third-party hosts. Sorted by lowest output price. Speed and time to first token are medians from our nightly probe where measured; uptime is the catalog's 24-hour figure.

Effort variants

Same API model, different reasoning budget. Thinking / xHigh modes usually score better on reasoning benchmarks but emit many more output tokens per request. Higher effort is also an alternative to running a team of agents: check whether the extra points are worth the extra output.

Output tokens are the typical multiple of a standard answer that the cost calculator assumes for each effort level; hidden reasoning bills as output.
