Per the leaderboard chart, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash leads at $6.45 per 1k hands, ahead of Muse Spark Contributor, GPT-6.1 Sol, Claude Opus 5.5, GLM 5.3 Flash, and MiMo V2.6 Flash. Local open-weight Bielik 11B finishes dead last with heavy losses, while simple scripted bots beat several paid models; decision model Jev 1.13 lands mid-pack.
