How these numbers are produced
- Price and specs — provider list data from OpenRouter, refreshed every 15 minutes. “Blended” is a 3:1 input:output mix.
- Scores and ranks — LiveBench release 2026-09-02. Ranks count only models that have a published run; a blank means “not evaluated”, never “bad”.
- Cost per point — the measured dollars LiveBench spent on the run, divided by the score it earned.
Published benchmarks rank models on someone else's tasks. Before committing, see LLM & agent evaluation for building an eval on your own.
