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.
The ultimate metric using Intelligence-Gated Value — where intelligence is the foundation and value acts as a multiplier.
A model with zero intelligence scores zero — no matter how cheap. Value without intelligence is meaningless.
Unweighted average (Max 100) of 10 frontier benchmarks:
Log-normalized efficiency score (Max 100) based on Blended Cost per 1M tokens (3:1 input:output ratio).
Floor ($0.25): Models at or below this cost receive V = 100 Ceiling ($60.00): Models at or above this cost receive V = 0
The logarithmic scale ensures cost differences matter more at the low end—the gap between $0.25 and $1.00 has greater impact than $50 vs $60.
The National Score for Team USA and Team China is the sum of the Unified Power Scores for all models belonging to that nation that appear in the Global Top 10.
* Only models ranked in the top 10 globally contribute to the national total. This rewards both peak performance and depth of dominance.
