📊 Methodology

All data is sourced from first-party APIs — not third-party aggregators. Pricing, context windows, and capabilities are verified against official provider documentation. Aggregator providers (OpenRouter, Requesty, etc.) are excluded from ranking tables to avoid duplicate models.

Data is auto-scraped and validated with Zod schemas. Last updated: 2025-05-21.
