Hard prompts (human ratings)

A category computed only from hard questions that meet several criteria such as domain knowledge, complexity, and problem-solving.

How to read this table

  • Higher rows are rated higher. A range like “1–2” means the gap is within the margin of error.
  • The rating comes from people comparing two answers and picking the better one.
  • At a gap of 50, the higher model is picked about 57% of the time; 100 means 64%, 200 means 76%.
  • Prices are a guide per million tokens, reading then writing.
  • Length is how much text the model can read at once (tokens).

How to read this page
  • These ratings exclude the effect of response length and formatting. Differences where the ± ranges overlap are within the margin of error, so about the same.
  • In the Supports column the icons are, from left: can use tools / can read images / can answer in a fixed format (JSON); faded means not supported or unknown.
  • Open-weights models have their contents (the weights) published, so you can also run them on your own computer or server. Models without the open-weights mark are normally used through the developer's own services (apps or API); for some models the weights status is unknown.
  • Names such as ChatGPT next to a model are the consumer services its developer offers. Check on the service itself whether that model is available there.
