Priciest model finishes last on accuracy and calibration in 16-model test

AlexKim · x · 2026-09-19

Price and vintage do not predict calibration: kimi-k3 was the most expensive model measured and finished last on both accuracy and calibration, while deepseek-v4-flash ran the whole set for $0.003 and beat Jev on accuracy. The takeaway: neither price nor pedigree predicts whether a model will admit it is unsure.
