$5.63 per million tokens, balanced

GPT-5.6 Sol is both better and cheaper.

It scores +7.8 higher and costs 29% less ($4.00/M against $5.63/M) on this workload — and it does everything this model does.

GLM 5.3 is cheaper still (62% less) but drops 1.1M → 1.0M context, no image, file input.

The same model via batch is 50% cheaper ($2.81/M) — same weights, different latency.

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.
