Model decision surface

Compare AI models

Start with o3 and o4 Mini, or choose any two current ranked language models. Compare capability evidence, price, context, provider availability, and weight access without pretending one field decides every use case.

Decision facts

  • o3 is #53; o4 Mini is #106 on the same current language board.
  • Index scores are 66.5 for o3 and 51.6 for o4 Mini. Their published uncertainty intervals do not overlap, but the aggregate Index does not predict performance on every task; compare the relevant benchmark configurations before choosing.
  • Both positions use Measured evidence.
  • Listed output price per 1M tokens is $8.00 for o3 and $4.40 for o4 Mini. For 1,000 requests with 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each (2M input + 0.5M output), the listed-rate estimate is $8.00 for o3 versus $4.40 for o4 Mini. o4 Mini costs 45.0% less in this scenario. This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the selected endpoint before budgeting.
  • Published context is 200,000 tokens for o3 and 200,000 for o4 Mini.

These are separate published fields, not a synthetic winner. ModelCap does not collapse price, access, context, and capability evidence into a hidden recommendation score.

Each comparison page is a permanent, shareable URL with the same live figures as this tool: ModelCap Index position, API pricing, context window, provider count, weight access and every shared benchmark board.
