Which AI model or agent should you use?

Live standings for 72 frontier models and 12 agent frameworks β€” capability measured on the kind of work you're actually doing, priced against what it costs per million tokens. Every number links to its public source, and anything we can't source is left blank instead of estimated.

General and Coding are Arena Elo for that category β€” human preference votes, higher is better. AA is the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, a benchmark-based composite on a different scale; it's shown beside the Elo columns as an independent cross-check, never blended with them. Blank means no published score, never an estimate. Price is blended (inputΓ—3 + outputΓ—1) Γ· 4 per million tokens; 20 models tagged varies are priced differently by UTC day or hour, and the full schedule is in the API. Click any header to sort.

Top agent harnesses on SWE-bench Verified

Percentage of 500 real GitHub issues resolved. Entries are agent scaffold + model combinations, not bare models β€” the same model can move many points depending on the harness around it.

Read this board with care. We re-fetch it every day, but SWE-bench itself has not accepted a new Verified entry since 2026-02-26 β€” 245 days ago β€” so no 2026 frontier model appears here. Since late 2025 its submission policy has been limited to academic teams and established labs, which keeps most commercial agents off it entirely. Only 60 of 180 entries were re-run by the maintainers; the rest are submitter-reported.
