How to read this table
- Rank / Rank Spread: relative position estimated from battle votes. The spread shows how far the rank moves within the confidence interval.
- Score: a relative score, useful for comparing the models listed at the same moment.
- Votes / Sessions: sample size. Rankings move more when there are fewer votes.
- Price $/M: reference price per million tokens for input / output.
- Context: maximum context length the model supports.
Three things to check before choosing a model
- Whether the provider actually serves the model, and whether it is available in your region and for your account;
- Whether the API price, rate limits and context window fit your workload;
- Run a small test on three to five real tasks instead of relying on the overall ranking alone.
