How it is calculated

Each is a measurement of the stated version and configuration. Two benchmarks are not the same test, and a score is not the chance your own work succeeds.

How we count

Prices are per million tokens. The big number on each row is blended 3 in : 1 out, the way most work uses a model. A price below Moonshot AI's own is listed as cheapest only when the provider says why.

Resells
The provider sells another company's endpoint, at a margin of its own or at the maker's price.
Lower precision
The open weights, served at a lower precision than the maker's, so not quite the same product.
Runs it themselves
The provider runs the open weights on hardware of its own, so the price is its own rather than a resale.
Credits
Priced in credits or points that convert to dollars, so the rate moves when the conversion does.
Same as maker
Sold by someone else at the price the maker charges.
Maker's price
What the lab that trained the model charges on its own API. Every other row is measured against it.
Costs more
Sold by someone else for more than the maker charges.
Free tier
Given away inside a quota. A limit is not a price, so it is never called cheapest.
Not ranked
Below the maker's price on a closed model with nothing to account for it, or from a catalog we could not read reliably. Listed, and never a pick.
