Cost

Each model's estimated IQ plotted against effective cost per 1M I/O Tokens (sticker price × measured or imputed usage multiplier).

Each model's estimated IQ plotted against its published token price. Toggle between input and output price per 1M tokens.

Each model's estimated IQ plotted against the cost of a representative 1M-token blend. Toggle between a coding blend (cache-heavy — 800K cache-read + 100K input + 100K output) and a copywriting blend (output-heavy — 150K input + 850K output).

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.

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.

Published price for 1M I/O Tokens compared with effective cost after applying the measured or imputed task-usage multiplier.

Each model's published sticker price for 1M I/O Tokens plotted against its effective cost after the measured or imputed task-usage multiplier. Points above the dashed line cost more per task than their sticker price suggests.
