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 score is the share of a shared set of problems the model solved (%).
- A gap of 3 means 3 problems out of 100.
- 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
- The value is accuracy.
- The human rating comes from people comparing two answers and picking the better one (higher is better).
- The accuracy is the share of problems solved. A gap of 1 point is 1 question out of 100.
- 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.
