Where these scores come from

Each capability combines the published benchmarks listed here, rescaled so 50 is the reference average and 15 points is one standard deviation. A hollow dot rests on a single benchmark.

Price against capability

The shaded corner holds anything better and cheaper. Prices blend input and output 3 to 1.

16 models from the past year score higher on Science for less: Claude Sonnet 5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, Gemini 4 Argon and 13 more.
