Frequently asked questions

What is the best AI model for value?

Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B (Alibaba) currently ranks first for value on Model Beat, followed by Qwen3.7 Flash and GLM-5.3-Flash. Ranked by intelligence per dollar — Epoch's Capabilities Index divided by blended token price (the average of input and output $/M). Higher means more capability per dollar.

How are these value rankings calculated?

Ranked by intelligence per dollar — Epoch's Capabilities Index divided by blended token price (the average of input and output $/M). Higher means more capability per dollar.

Benchmarks & model data from Epoch AI (CC BY); pricing & specs from OpenRouter. ECI = Epoch Capabilities Index.
