Methodology

  • Every model and effort level ran the same four coding prompts. The usage meters in each provider's settings were read before and after the run.
  • Providers show usage in whole percents, so <1% means the weekly meter did not move.
  • API price equivalent is the cost reported by the coding harness, as if the same tokens were billed via the API.
  • Total time depends on the provider's server load at the time of testing, so treat it as a rough indicator.
  • Providers change their limits without notice. Check the last update date above.
