downingARK · x · 2026-08-05
The author suggests that evaluating "frontier AI models" should focus on the Pareto Frontier of price-to-performance rather than just absolute intelligence. Any model below this frontier is considered overpriced for the intelligence it delivers.
According to data from @ArtificialAnlys, OpenAI currently holds the most spots on the Pareto Frontier with 3 models. Anthropic, Moonshot, xAI, Meta, and DeepSeek each have 1 frontier model on the curve.
