## No independent quality score.

No benchmark we track has measured this model. That is not the same as measuring it and finding it wanting — we simply cannot rank it, so we do not.

### Every price dimension

| Input | $0.260 /M |
| --- | --- |
| Output | $0.380 /M |
| Cached input | $0.130 /M |

### Independent scores

| Coding | 44.2 |

| LMArena Elo | 1424.6 default |

Sources are listed separately rather than averaged. Across the 62 models both have scored they correlate at r = 0.806 — close agreement overall, but four models rank very differently between them, and a blended score would hide exactly those.
