How to read this chart
Each line shows what a standardized Artificial Analysis task would have cost using either the cheapest or average model around a given threshold. Data is based on listed market offers, with cost per task estimated using Artificial Analysis benchmarks of token usage per task and OpenRouter listed costs per token.
Intelligence level vs. cost for a standardized task
Compares the average Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index score of models used by OpenRouter users vs. the cost per task.
does not include 0x alpha due to lack of Artificial Analysis benchmark at present
Illustrative only: Ox Alpha is assigned an estimated Intelligence Index score of 54.0 and 800,000 tokens per standardized task. Its current free-preview listed price is used.
