A daily-updated LLM value chart that plots price against intelligence to find the frontier

Best LLM for every budget, updated daily

The site plots 420 models from the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index against blended API price, drawing a value frontier where no cheaper model is smarter. Claude Opus 5.5 leads at $8/1M tokens with a 57.6 intelligence score. Meta's Muse Spark 1.3 tops the $2–$8 band at 48.1, Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.6-Pro wins $0.54–$2 at 46.3, and Z AI's GLM 5.3 Flash takes the under-$0.24 tier at 41.8. The post doesn't disclose how the intelligence index is built, and Coding/Math sub-scores are listed as empty for many models, so I'd hold off on those comparisons.

Why it matters: A daily-updated price-performance leaderboard using Artificial Analysis data — genuinely useful for model selection. Hits H and K, but lacks the controversy or identity hook for R, so it lands at the featured threshold of 72.
