How to read this chart

FrontierSWE publishes no per-run cost, so this chart falls back to each model's estimated effective cost per 1M I/O tokens (a runtime estimate from measured or imputed token usage, not a published task cost). Explicit reasoning/nonreasoning siblings are connected where both are public; every other model is a standalone point. Up and to the left is better.
