The table shows 64 diversified result series from 219 shared results. This prevents one benchmark with many subtasks from crowding out every other test.

How to read this comparison

Winning one benchmark is not an overall verdict

Your workload, budget, and required context length matter most. A coding benchmark says little about visual understanding or agent performance.

Prices use official API rates per 1M tokens. Web subscriptions and cloud platform surcharges can differ.

Every result links to its measurement source and retrieval date. Labels distinguish vendor reports, official benchmark leaderboards, and independent evaluations. Disputed or archived results are excluded.
