Frederick Jensen benchmarked 63 AI-generated Power BI reports — 7 models × 3 reasoning effort levels, same prompt run three times each, every report individually reviewed.
- Best cost efficiency: GPT SOL 6.1 (Low effort) produced a production-ready report for $1.51 in 9 minutes, beating comparable Claude models on cost.
- Fastest: Claude Opus 5.5 (Low effort) finished in 7 minutes at $4.49.
- Quality: Most models fully met requirements; only smaller Claude Haiku and OpenAI Luna fell short.
- Reports included interactive slicers, custom-tooltip maps, bookmarks, dynamic charts, conditional formatting, and SVG-based KPI cards.
Takeaway: AI can already build sophisticated BI reports, but model and effort choice meaningfully shifts cost and speed.
