Intelligence Index vs. Price

Blended at 7:2:1 (cache-input-output) · USD per 1M tokens (blended)

Most attractive quadrant

Pareto line

While higher intelligence models are typically more expensive, they do not all follow the same price-quality curve.

Context Window

Context window: tokens limit · Higher is better

Larger context windows are relevant to RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) LLM workflows which typically involve reasoning and information retrieval of large amounts of data.

Maximum number of combined input & output tokens. Output tokens commonly have a significantly lower limit (varied by model).

Pricing

Intelligence Index vs. Price

Pareto line

While higher intelligence models are typically more expensive, they do not all follow the same price-quality curve.

Performance Summary

Output Speed vs. Price

Output speed: output tokens per second · USD per 1M tokens (blended)

Most attractive quadrant

Tokens per second received while the model is generating tokens (ie. after first chunk has been received from the API for models which support streaming).

Price per token, shown in USD per million tokens. Price is a blend of cache hit, input, and output token prices using the selected ratio (default 7:2:1 cache-input-output).

Speed

Measured by Output Speed (tokens per second)

Output Speed

Output tokens per second · Higher is better

Tokens per second received while the model is generating tokens (ie. after first chunk has been received from the API for models which support streaming).

Figures represent performance of the model's first-party API or the median across providers where a first-party API is not available.

Latency

Measured by Time (seconds) to First Token

Latency: Time To First Answer Token

Seconds to first answer token received · Accounts for reasoning model 'thinking' time

Time to first answer token received, in seconds, after API request sent. For reasoning models, this includes the 'thinking' time of the model before providing an answer. For models which do not support streaming, this represents time to receive the completion.

Cache Behaviour

Cache Hit Rate

Share of cacheable input tokens served from cache · Median of the last four weeks, updated Sep 26, 2026

The share of cacheable input tokens served from the provider's prompt cache, measured during multi-turn agentic coding sessions. We regularly measure each endpoint and report a representative rate based on recent measurements. Higher values mean more of the input is billed at the cheaper cache-hit price, where the provider offers one, which lowers the effective cost of agentic workloads. For further details, see our methodology page.

Cost per Task vs. Cache Hit Rate

Weighted average cost (USD) per Intelligence Index task · Cache hit rate: median of the last four weeks, updated Sep 26, 2026

Most attractive quadrant

Weighted average cost per Intelligence Index task. Each evaluation’s cost is calculated from input, cache hit, cache write, reasoning, and answer token prices, divided by task count, and weighted by its Intelligence Index weight.

End-to-End Response Time

Seconds to output 500 tokens, calculated based on time to first token, 'thinking' time for reasoning models, and output speed

End-to-End Response Time vs. Price

End-to-end response time: end-to-end seconds to output 500 tokens · USD per 1M tokens (blended)

Most attractive quadrant

Price per token, shown in USD per million tokens. Price is a blend of cache hit, input, and output token prices using the selected ratio (default 7:2:1 cache-input-output).
