Every frontier model. One place.

Compare 12 production models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Moonshot, Alibaba, Xiaomi, MiniMax, and DeepMind — on benchmarks, pricing, context, and practical task fit. Pick a model in 30 seconds, or evaluate a real task in two minutes.

Apr 23 · GA OpenAI GPT-5.5 New flagship. 60% fewer hallucinations vs GPT-5.4. Intelligence Index 60. Codex agent hits 88.7% SWE-bench.
Apr 24 · OSS DeepSeek V4 Pro 80%+ SWE-bench, Apache 2.0 on Hugging Face. $1.74/$3.48 per M — 10× cheaper than closed frontier.
Apr 16 · GA Claude Opus 4.7 SWE-bench Pro 64.3% — new #1 across all models. SWE-bench Verified jumped 80.8% → 87.6%.

Quick pick

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

The full lineup

Click any card to see strengths, watch-outs, and tooling. Pin up to 3 to compare side-by-side.

Filter

Task evaluator

Paste a real task, choose the dominant work type, and tune cost, speed, and context sensitivity. Scored against all 10 production-ready models.

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.

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 or MiniMax M2.7 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 Mythos and DeepSeek V4 are both expected to shift rankings significantly when generally available.
