New · GA Claude Fable 5 Anthropic's most capable model. Leads SWE-bench Pro (~80%) and long-horizon agentic work. $10/$50 per M — above Opus tier.

Jun 13 · OSS GLM 5.2 (Z.ai) New open-weight intelligence leader. Beats GPT-5.5 on several long-horizon coding benchmarks at ~1/6 the cost.

Price · OSS DeepSeek V4 Pro Now $0.435/$0.87 per M — the launch promo became the official price after May 31. ~80% SWE-bench Verified, Apache 2.0.

Quick pick

Three questions — one recommended model. For nuanced tradeoffs, use the full evaluator below.

1. What's the work?

2. Budget?

3. Speed need?

Recommendation

Scores fit on a 100-point scale across all production models. Top 5 shown with tradeoff rationale.

Side-by-side prompt runners

Top 3 recommended models get starter prompts. Paste into vendor consoles or OpenRouter and score outputs consistently.

Scorecards

Repeatable rubric for head-to-head runs.

Best team of models

Splits a workflow into subtasks and assigns the best model for each slice — now routing across the full 12-model set.

Multi-step workflow

Routed plan

Opinionated defaults — override freely.

Ones to watch

Models not yet production-stable for international use, or restricted access only — but worth tracking closely.

How to use this in practice

Start with the evaluator for a quick pick. For zero-cost experimentation, try Qwen3.6-Plus, MiniMax M3, or GLM 5.2 on OpenRouter before paying for frontier models. Use the router for compound workflows. Check the "Ones to watch" section for models that may leapfrog the current leaders — Claude Fable 5 and GLM 5.2 have already reshuffled the top of the table; the open-weight tier is closing fast.
