The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.

GPT-6 Astra holds ModelCap Index position #13 of 350 ranked language models as of 24 October 2026, with an Index score of 79.9 (interval 75.3–84.5); evidence: measured. The Index combines public benchmark boards with published uncertainty; the methodology page explains the weighting.
GPT-6 Astra is listed at $10.00 per 1M input tokens and $50.00 per 1M output tokens as of 24 October 2026; the lowest output price among 3 providers is $25.00 on OpenAI. 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 $45.00 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.
