Methodology

Everything LLM Stats publishes — leaderboards, benchmark scores, pricing, speed, and composite indexes — is derived from public sources and independently sampled measurements. This page is the index of how each metric is computed.

LLM Stats Score
The composite intelligence index combining verified benchmarks across reasoning, coding, knowledge, and tool use. Versioned, dated, and reproducible.

Sources we rely on

Provider API price lists, sampled hourly and verified against the LLM Stats proxy billing.
Verified benchmark releases (lab-published or independently replicated). Unverified scores are flagged in the UI and excluded from composite indexes.
Live throughput and time-to-first-token measured by routing standardized prompts through each provider, averaged over a 7-day rolling window.
Community arenas with vote-quality controls (anonymity, deduping, bot filtering).
