"methodology": "This dataset combines three categories of data. (1) Specifications and pricing: sourced directly from official provider documentation and API pricing pages as of February 2026. Pricing reflects pay-as-you-go API rates in USD; volume discounts, committed-use pricing, and prompt caching discounts are excluded. Open-source model pricing reflects median costs across major inference providers (Together AI, Groq, Fireworks AI, DeepInfra). (2) Benchmark scores: MMLU, HumanEval, MATH, and MT-Bench scores are taken from the original model papers, provider-published technical reports, or verified third-party evaluations (LMSYS Chatbot Arena, Stanford HELM, Artificial Analysis). Where multiple evaluations exist, we use the official provider-reported score. Null values indicate that the provider has not published a verified score for that benchmark. (3) Latency and throughput: time-to-first-token (TTFT) and throughput (tokens per second) are measured using standardized prompts (500-token input, 200-token output) against each provider's production API endpoint from US-East regions. Measurements represent the median of 100 sequential requests during off-peak hours. Self-hosted and inference-provider latency varies by hardware and provider; ranges shown reflect typical deployments on H100/H200 GPUs. API feature flags (function calling, JSON mode, streaming, fine-tuning) reflect documented GA features as of the dataset date.",
