Coding models run from $0.07 to $5.00 per million input tokens — a 70× spread. A shortlist by task, with verified prices and context lengths.

A shortlist by task, not a ranking. Prices run from $0.002 to $0.357 per second — a 178× spread. What each tier is actually for.

Not a ranking — a shortlist by task. The cheapest model that will do each job, from $0.003 bulk generation to precision editing. Verified prices.
