How this data works
ModelLab is an independent dashboard. Here's what the numbers mean, where they come from, and what they don't tell you.
Where the numbers come from
Benchmark scores are the best publicly reported figures for each model, drawn from official model cards and papers, plus independent leaderboards: LMArena (Arena Elo), swebench.com (SWE-bench), and LiveBench. Pricing reflects public list API pricing per 1 million tokens in USD.
The benchmarks
Chatbot Arena
EloCrowdsourced head-to-head chat preference Elo from LMArena. Captures perceived helpfulness and vibe across real-world prompts.
SWE-bench Verified
0–100Share of real GitHub issues a model can autonomously resolve end-to-end (with tests passing). The de-facto agentic coding benchmark.
AIME 2025
0–100American Invitational Mathematics Examination — competition math that rewards deep, multi-step reasoning. Reported as % solved.
GPQA Diamond
0–100Google-proof graduate-level science Q&A (physics, biology, chemistry). PhD-level questions that resist web lookup.
MMLU-Pro
0–100Harder, 10-way multiple-choice version of MMLU across 14 academic and professional domains. Breadth-of-knowledge signal.
Aider Polyglot
0–100Editing a real codebase across multiple languages. Measures practical, instruction-following coding skill (not just generation).
OSWorld
0–100Computer-use / agentic benchmark: completing real desktop OS tasks (apps, files, browsers). The leading autonomy metric.

Read benchmark scores with healthy skepticism
- • Labs self-report many scores and can select favorable conditions. Independent, third-party runs are more trustworthy.
- • Benchmarks saturate — once models score near the ceiling, the metric stops differentiating them.
- • A leaderboard rank says nothing about your workload. The best way to choose is to test on your own data.
- • “Value score” is a heuristic, not a published metric. Use it as a rough guide.
