Input Price vs Output Price
Each model positioned by its published token prices — input price (Y) against output price (X), both per 1M tokens on a log scale. The dashed line is the best fit across models, showing the typical output-to-input price relationship.

How to read this chart
Each point is a public model. The chart compares Input Price (per 1M tokens) against Output Price (per 1M tokens), with color showing the model provider.

CostIQ vs Input/Output Token CostEach model's estimated IQ plotted against its published token price.

Higher means less price-adjusted task work: 2× is about half the median task effort. Source-backed multipliers are preferred; lineage, peer, and 1× fallbacks are labeled in tooltips.Data: Artificial Analysis, ARC Prize, Vals.aiOpen chartCostIQ vs Blended Token CostEach model's estimated IQ plotted against the cost of a representative 1M-token blend.
