How the ranking works
Transparent enough to disagree with.
The ranking combines public benchmark signals with price, measured throughput, context and deployment constraints. It is a decision aid, not a universal definition of model quality.

Value score
(intelligence − 25)² × min(1, speed ÷ 30) ÷ (input cost + output cost × 3)
Output is weighted ×3 to reflect output-heavy production use; intelligence is squared so cheap but weak models do not dominate.
- Intelligence
- Public benchmark and reasoning signals form the default order.
- Speed
- Output tokens per second; provider and region still affect real latency.
- Cost
- Public input and output price per million tokens, before enterprise discounts.
- Deployment
- Context, weight access and hosting constraints determine production fit.

FAQ
Questions worth asking before the benchmark wins the argument.
The first row and Best overall card show the current intelligence-first leader. The best choice can change once price, latency, hosting and task-specific evaluation enter the decision.
The Best open model card is recalculated from models with verified downloadable weights, using the same intelligence-first ordering as the main table.
The Best value card is recalculated from the published value formula whenever verified intelligence, speed or base token pricing changes.
No. Context capacity only describes how much can be submitted. Retrieval design, instruction quality, attention behaviour and evaluation still determine whether that context produces a useful answer.
A scheduled pipeline revalidates the dataset weekly and after major releases. Failed or conflicting source checks keep the last verified snapshot online instead of publishing partial data.
The default order uses the public intelligence signal. Speed, price, context, openness and a separate value formula remain visible so teams can challenge the default order.
Tenten does not sell model tokens through this page. Public sources are linked, assumptions are shown, and we recommend a task-specific evaluation before any production decision.

Bring the workflow. We’ll test the shortlist.
A model only becomes a good decision after it survives your documents, permissions, latency budget and failure cases.
