- Best value: DeepSeek-V4 Flash 0731, offering 532 solves per $100.
- Best combo strategy: Default to DeepSeek first, then escalate to Luna upon verifier failure. This achieves a 78.9% accuracy rate at only $0.385 per task. Compared to using Luna alone (67.2% accuracy, $0.61 cost), this combo not only boosts accuracy by 11.7 percentage points but also reduces costs by roughly 37%.
