infwinston · x · 2026-10-14
Arena.ai released Max, an agentic model router that ranked #1 in Agent Arena (+14.7%) with a median cost of $3.27 per task, beating then-leader Fable 5.1 (Max) by 0.3% at 37.5% lower cost. Trained on 2.5M+ real Agent Arena sessions and insights from testing 60+ agentic models over 4 months, Max routes requests by task complexity, cost and type, shifting the performance-cost Pareto frontier across chat, work, and coding — with the largest gains in chat and work.
