Task Efficiency
Each dot shows the inverse of the effective-cost usage multiplier. 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.

How to read this chart
Higher values indicate better task efficiency: the model needs less price-adjusted work than the median model for comparable tasks. Tooltips label whether the multiplier is measured, lineage-imputed, peer-imputed, or assumed at 1x.
