Models

A snapshot comparison of frontier and open language models — intelligence against price, speed, latency, and context — with the open-vs-closed and US-vs-China lines drawn in.

snapshot 2026-07-20 · 179 models · figures from Artificial Analysis, provider docs, and Epoch (ECI). Leaderboards churn — treat this as a dated picture, not live data.

Are Chinese models catching up?

Intelligence against release date, with a best-so-far frontier line for each origin. The gap between the two envelopes — and whether it's closing — is the question the scaling01 analysis digs into.

Which models write alike?

Benchmarks measure what a model knows; this measures how it writes. Each model answered the same eight prompts, and the cells are the symmetric KL divergence between their character-trigram distributions — a fingerprint of style, from the words alone. Same-lab families cluster; the telling cells are the close ones across labs (shared training data leaves a stylistic trace). Reproduced from Typebulb's heat map.

Hover a cell for the pair. Closest across labs: Zhipu: GLM 5.2 ~ Google: Gemini 3.1 Pro at 0.418 bits.

Prose only — each model answered eight fixed prompts; cells are the symmetric KL divergence between their character-trigram distributions (lower = writes more alike). Same-lab families cluster; the interesting cells are the low-divergence ones across labs. Data and method from Typebulb's “You're relatively right!” .
