Best AI models for data analysis.

Data work can mean extracting a few fields, writing a query or explaining a pattern in a table. This shortlist emphasizes data analysis, mathematics and reasoning. Choose a model around the decisions it must make, then check the output against the original data.

The list weighs the published results that matter for data analysis and keeps the models close enough to the best one for a balanced task. Price picks the provider after that; it never lifts a weaker model into the list. 382 available models were considered and 42 have comparable evidence.

Each price is the cheapest provider read in the last three days, per M tokens, blended 3 in : 1 out.

Benchmark results do not verify the calculations or conclusions in your output. They also do not guarantee spreadsheet access, code execution or reliable extraction from every document layout.

The ranking uses the same Balanced settings as the Ask page. The Capability methodology has the sources, the exact identity rules, the task weights and the difficulty ranges.
