Benchmark leaderboards featuring R1
All leaderboardsR1: common questions
How much does R1 cost per 1M tokens?
R1 is listed at $0.70 per 1M input tokens and $2.50 per 1M output tokens as of 22 September 2026. Prices come from the OpenRouter catalogue and re-observe on every refresh. For 1,000 requests using 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each, the listed rates imply $2.65 total (2M input + 0.5M output). This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the chosen endpoint's rate and limits before budgeting.
What is the context window of R1?
R1 has a published context window of 64K tokens (64,000) and a maximum output of 16K tokens. Individual providers can serve less than the published maximum; the providers table lists each endpoint's own limit.
Is R1 open-weight?
Open weights (mit). Downloadable weights are published under an OSI or free-culture license in the current repository metadata. This describes weight availability, not whether the full training stack qualifies as Open Source AI. The repository is deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1 on Hugging Face.
Which API providers serve R1?
One provider serves R1 through OpenRouter as of 22 September 2026: Novita. Each provider's price, context limit, quantization and measured uptime are in the providers table above.
Which benchmarks has R1 been evaluated on?
R1 has published results on 4 public boards tracked by ModelCap as of 22 September 2026: Arena coding 1444 (#149 of 397), ARC-AGI-2 1.3% (#170 of 214), AA τ²-Bench Telecom 36.5% (#241 of 436) and AA Humanity's Last Exam 15.8% (#213 of 615). Each board page ranks every tracked model on that benchmark; the ModelCap Index combines them with published uncertainty.
When was R1 released?
R1 first appeared in the catalogue on 20 Jan 2025, with a published knowledge cutoff of 2024-07-31. It has since been superseded by R1 0528. Rank and price movements since then are recorded on the site's changes feed.
