Models
The labs keep shipping. This page is the current flagship cut: closed APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and Meta, plus the open-weight models that actually sit next to them on a shared harness — Kimi, GLM, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma, Mistral, Llama. Quality is the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.1.1, not a press-release table.
Prices are USD per million tokens on the first-party (or AA-measured) API. If a field is missing, it is a dash, not a guess. Llama 4 is still here because that is the downloadable Meta line; Muse Spark is the Meta API that actually scores. We do not treat every 7B fine-tune as a frontier model.
Higher is better. Navy is frontier / API-only. Accent is open weight. Effort settings are the ones AA scored, not always the lab default.

Figures as of 1 Sep 2026. They lag the labs. We fetched the pages below; we did not invent scores, windows, licenses, or list prices. Google's own Gemini 3.7 pricing page did not load in this pass, so Flash input/output dollars are Artificial Analysis's Google API listing, and Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview has no token price on this table.
