03 — Method

How the verdicts are calculated

Every comparison scores each model from 0 to 100 on four measures, then weights them. The formula is the same on every page.

  1. 50%Capability independent benchmark results
  2. 25%Price blended price per million tokens (3 input : 1 output), log scale
  3. 15%Inputs & features image, PDF, audio and video input, tool calling, structured output and reasoning
  4. 10%Context window maximum tokens per request, log scale

Capability uses the Epoch Capabilities Index , which combines dozens of benchmarks into one scale. If a model in the comparison has no ECI score yet, we fall back to the Epoch AI benchmarks every model shares.

Price is the official API list price where the lab sells access directly, otherwise the median across paid providers. We blend it as three input tokens to one output token and score it on a log scale, so a model at half the price earns a clear but not runaway advantage.

Fair by construction. If a measure is missing for any model in a comparison, it is dropped for all of them and the remaining weights are rescaled.

04 — Questions

Questions people ask

What is the best AI model right now?

On the Epoch Capabilities Index, the top models are Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic, 167.4), GPT-6 Astra (OpenAI, 166.5) and Claude Sonnet 5.5 (Anthropic, 165.2). “Best” still depends on the job: compare price, context window and inputs for the models you are considering.

Which capable AI model is cheapest?

Among models in the top quarter of the Epoch Capabilities Index, DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 from DeepSeek is the cheapest at $0.14 input / $0.28 output per million tokens (ECI 154.5).

Which AI model has the largest context window?

Llama 4 Scout 17B Instruct from Meta accepts up to 10,000,000 tokens per request, the largest of the 393 models listed here.

What is the best open-weights model?

The highest-scoring open-weights models on the Epoch Capabilities Index are Kimi K3 (Moonshot AI, 157.6), GLM-5.3 (Z.ai (Zhipu), 155.8) and DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 (DeepSeek, 155.4).

How are the comparisons scored?

Every model gets a 0–100 score on capability (50%), price (25%), inputs & features (15%), context window (10%). When a measure is missing for any model in a comparison it is dropped for all of them, so the verdict always rests on shared evidence.

Where does the data come from?

Specs and official API prices come from models.dev, an open (MIT-licensed) model database. Capability scores come from Epoch AI’s Capabilities Index and benchmark hub (CC BY 4.0). The data was last refreshed on Oct 4, 2026.
