AI Model Comparison Guide

Compare large language models (LLMs) side-by-side with detailed benchmark scores, pricing, and performance metrics. Our interactive comparison tool helps you evaluate AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, DeepSeek, and other leading providers. Use our AI model leaderboard to discover more models to compare.

Understanding Composite Indices

  • Intelligence Index: Aggregated score combining MMLU-Pro, GPQA, and HLE benchmarks - measures overall reasoning and knowledge capabilities
  • Coding Index: Composite metric from LiveCodeBench, SciCode, and LiveCodeBench Review - evaluates programming proficiency across multiple languages
  • Math Index: Combined score from AIME, AIME 2025, and MATH-500 benchmarks - assesses mathematical reasoning from high school to competition level

Key Comparison Metrics

  • Benchmark Scores: Standardized tests measuring intelligence, coding, math, and specialized capabilities - higher percentages indicate better performance
  • Pricing Analysis: Compare input and output token costs across models - critical for budgeting API usage and scaling applications
  • Performance Metrics: Throughput (tokens/second) and latency measurements for real-time application planning
  • Context Windows: Maximum token capacity for processing documents and maintaining conversation history

How to Compare AI Models Effectively

Performance vs Cost

Balance benchmark scores against token pricing - flagship models offer 10-15% better performance but cost 5-10x more than smaller alternatives

Task-Specific Selection

Prioritize relevant indices: coding index for development tasks, math index for STEM applications, intelligence index for general reasoning
