ArtificialAnlys · x · 2026-07-24
Artificial Analysis says its San Francisco billboards are now showing an Intelligence Index vs. Cost per Task chart for leading models.
- It argues cost efficiency is now a primary model-evaluation dimension.
- In its chart, Fable 5 tops the Intelligence Index at 60 but costs $2.75 per task.
- Grok 4.5 (high) scores 54 at $0.31 per task, about 9× cheaper, and is said to sit on the Pareto frontier.
- DeepSeek v4 Flash scores 44 at $0.04 per task, roughly 69× cheaper than Fable.
- The company defines the Pareto frontier as models that are not beaten on both intelligence and cost by any other model.
