Method

Score: Epoch AI's capability index, summarizing many benchmarks run by Epoch (GPQA, SWE-bench, FrontierMath…). Price: developers' official rates, converted to euros at the ECB rate; the blended price weights input 3/4 and output 1/4. Models without an official price are in the table but not on the chart.

Sources: Scores: Epoch AI, Capabilities & benchmarking (CC BY 4.0), up to 2026-09-28 · Prices: developers' pages, checked 2026-10-03 · Licenses: Arena dataset (CC BY 4.0) · ECB rate of 2026-10-02: €1 = $1.1225

FAQ

What does “open weights” mean?

Weights are the billions of numbers that hold what a model has learned. An open-weight model can be downloaded and run on your own machine; a closed model is only available through its developer's API. Open weights does not mean open source: the license may restrict use.

How is model intelligence measured?

With Epoch AI's Capabilities Index (ECI), which combines the results of many benchmarks: scientific reasoning (GPQA Diamond), coding (SWE-bench Verified), mathematics (FrontierMath), factual accuracy (SimpleQA Verified).

Where do the prices come from?

From the developers' official pricing pages, in dollars per million tokens, converted to euros at the European Central Bank reference rate. The blended price counts 3/4 of the input price and 1/4 of the output price.

What is the Pareto line?

It links the models that no other model beats on both intelligence and price: the best trade-offs right now.
