📈Arena Score vs Price Update

We analyzed the top models by plotting Arena Score against input/output pricing, and the results reveal several notable highlights for December:

⚡ @GoogleDeepMind’s Gemini 3 Flash enters the Arena at the Pareto frontier, positioning it among the highest-ranking models in the lower-cost tier, alongside Gemini 3 Pro, @xAI’s Grok-4.1-Reasoning, Gemini-2.5-Flash-Lite and Gemma-3 27b

🔹Arena Score vs. Price maps models by performance relative to cost per token (5:1 input / output)
🔹Gemini 3 Flash ranks ~50 Arena points (or ~20 places) above similarly priced models, such as @Zai_org’s GLM-4.6.
🔹Grok-4.1-Fast-Reasoning retains its place on the Pareto curve, priced at ~1/5 of Gemini 3 Flash
🔹In the WebDev Arena, Gemini 3 Flash ranks above models priced at multiples of its cost - including @OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 (~4×) and @AnthropicAI’s Claude Opus 4.5 (~9×).
