Reproducible market studies
Three compact views of the model market, calculated from the same governed catalog used by FindLLM comparisons. Each edition links to an immutable daily dataset so results can be checked and cited.
Price–quality frontier
Pareto-efficient models after the shared catalog gate, a Quality Index floor of 30, and a $0.01/M-token price floor. A model appears only when no cheaper candidate has equal or higher quality.

| Nex AGI: Nex-N2-ProNex Agi | 41.0 | $0.44 |

Speed–quality frontier
Models that are not dominated on both published output speed and quality. A model appears only when no faster candidate has equal or higher quality.

Open-weight leaders
Highest-quality comparison-ready models classified as open and linked to a public model repository. Repository presence is not a substitute for reviewing the model license and use restrictions.
