Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, official scale (the number published on artificialanalysis.ai), relayed by OpenRouter and refreshed automatically: last read October 14, 2026. 209 models carry a current official measurement. A value marked ~ is converted from an earlier snapshot because no current measurement is published; an unmeasured model is never ranked. Context, price, modality and listing dates come from the public OpenRouter model list (refreshed automatically on the live site; static copy retrieved October 3, 2026) and vendor pages. Missing values are not published or not yet verified - shown as -. Sources are linked inside the app (the Ranking chapter and About > Methodology).
