LLM rankings, side by side
Benchmarks, cost vs intelligence, context windows, and head-to-head comparisons across every major large language model.
Six lenses on the LLM field. Composite ranks for the headline answer; cost-curves and the heatmap for the nuance. Where you start depends on what you’re optimizing for.
Best value: high intelligence, low cost
Bubble size = context window. Best-value quadrant highlighted.
Average of AA’s same-scale intelligence indices (Overall and Coding) per model. Math is shown side-by-side at right but excluded from this rank — its 80–99 distribution would distort the average against models AA hasn’t scored on math yet.
The three intelligence indices Artificial Analysis publishes for every LLM, side-by-side for the top models. Missing values shown as —.
Math shows as —when AA hasn’t run the underlying math benchmarks (AIME, MATH-500…) against a given variant — common for high-effort reasoning configurations.
Bubble size = intelligence. Bottom-right is the operational sweet spot: fast responses for low cost.
Per-benchmark scores across the most-populated columns. Each column is normalized independently so different scales (MMLU 0-100 vs AIME 0-30) compare cleanly.
