Visualizing the trade-off between raw capability (IQ Index) and cost-efficiency (Value Index). The ideal model sits in the top-right quadrant.
Premium frontier models
The sweet spot: Smart AND affordable
Which companies are leading based on their models in the Global Top 10? Scores are summed from each company's models that made the cut.
Weighted blend emphasizing capability (90%) over cost efficiency (10%).
AvgIQ and Value are normalized within the cohort so every run is self-balancing.
Participation-weighted average of benchmark scores. Each benchmark is min–max normalized across the cohort, and benchmarks with only one participant are excluded from scoring.
This rewards models that perform well on widely reported tests while avoiding single-entry spikes.
Value = AvgIQ ÷ (Input $/M + Output $/M). Lower cost with higher capability increases Value.
Value is also normalized across the cohort before contributing to Unified.
For USA and China, we sum the Unified scores of that nation’s models inside the global Top 10.
This rewards both peak performance and depth in the top of the table.
