Artificial Analysis
Artificial Analysis
Clear comparison of models by quality, speed and price.
An independent analysis site comparing AI models and API providers by quality, speed and cost.
Overview
Artificial Analysis is an independent analysis organization that measures AI models and API providers. The site's goal is to help users choose the right model and provider for their needs, based on measured data rather than advertising.
The site has the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index to score overall capability, along with metrics on cost per task, token prices, text generation speed and response latency. Beyond language models, it also has leaderboards for coding agents, image generation, video generation and speech, and comparisons of providers running the same model.
If Arena shows which models users prefer, Artificial Analysis adds the technical and cost perspective. It is a site well worth bookmarking for anyone who has to balance quality against budget when building AI automation.
Highlights
Intelligence Index
An overall capability score for quickly comparing models on a single scale.
Cost and token prices
Compare prices per task, total cost of running evaluations and each model's token prices.
Speed and latency
Measures text generation speed and response time, important for chatbots and real-time applications.
Provider comparison
The same model run at different providers will differ in price, speed and accuracy.
Many domains
Has leaderboards for coding agents, Image Arena, Video Arena and speech.
What it's for
Choosing a model for a customer care chatbot
The engineering team weighs capability score, latency and cost to pick a model suited to the message volume.
Optimizing automation costs
Businesses running AI processes daily check whether a cheaper model of comparable quality exists.
Choosing an API provider
When using an open model, compare providers to pick one that is faster and more stable.
Choosing speech tools
Businesses building automated call centers consult the speech-to-text and text-to-speech leaderboards.
Following market trends
Managers use the AI Trends section to get the overall picture of the leading models.
How to use it
- 1
Open the homepage
Go to artificialanalysis.ai; public charts can be viewed without logging in.
- 2
Check the capability score
In the Intelligence section, look at the Intelligence Index to see which group of models is leading.
- 3
Compare cost and speed
Scroll down to the Cost and Speed & Latency sections to compare prices and response times.
- 4
Choose the right domain
Use the Models, Coding Agents, Image, Speech or Video menu depending on the kind of work.
- 5
Read the methodology
Go to the Methodology section in the footer to understand how scores are computed before relying on the figures.

Real-world example
A small logistics company uses AI to read and classify order emails, but API costs keep rising with the number of emails. The person in charge of engineering goes to Artificial Analysis, compares a few models with similar capability scores but different token prices and speeds, then tests the cheaper model on a sample batch of emails. If accuracy still meets requirements, the company switches to this model to reduce operating costs.
Tips & notes
Don't choose solely on the highest score
For simple tasks, a smaller model may be good enough and much cheaper.
Mind the latency
A chatbot answering customers needs fast responses, so look closely at Speed & Latency.
Combine with real-world testing
Benchmarks are a guide; always test on your own data and Vietnamese.
Combine with Arena
Arena gives the view of user perception, Artificial Analysis the view of measurement and cost.
FAQ
Does Artificial Analysis charge fees?
Public charts and leaderboards can be viewed without logging in; the site has some separate data products, with terms on the official site.
How is it different from Arena?
Arena is based on user votes; Artificial Analysis runs its own evaluations and measures quality, speed and cost.
Can non-specialists read it?
Yes, but start with the Intelligence Index, Cost and Speed before going into the detailed benchmarks.
Is the data updated?
The site continually adds new models and metrics; check the update date on each chart.
