Hey! From the Artificial Analysis team. We also have a model releases page which shows all reasoning efforts (not just max), including the trade off curves https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/releases/claude-opus-5-...
Hey! George from the Artificial Analysis team here. We published an update today that does result in a change of the order, Qwen3.8 Max to second rather than first. The methodology change was an already planned upgrade to our equality checking/grader models, and brings the latest ³-Banking version to Artificial Analysis. Regular updates are normal for us to keep our benchmarks up to date.

The order changes but I think the story discussed in this thread holds - this is a very impressive release and Qwen3.8 Max is a huge step up in agentic capabilities.

Data in this tool is from https://artificialanalysis.ai/ on October 13 2024 and so is a little of out date.

This page has up to date information of all models and providers: https://artificialanalysis.ai/leaderboards/providers We also on other pages cover Speech to Text, Text to Speech, Text to Image, Text to Video.

Re:Thefastest.ai on Tuesday April 23, 2024 @09:08PM (#40139276)
this page is probably our most comparable to thefastest (which is cool, more benchmarks is better): https://artificialanalysis.ai/leaderboards/providers

We also have pricing, long/medium/short prompt lengths (decode time can vary between providers) & parallel query benchmarking + model details (ctx window, etc)

What is your view on the E-2 visa for startup founders and likelihood of success (with an investment of ~50-100k for software business)?
Re:Groq runs Mixtral 8x7B-32k with 500 T/s on Monday February 19, 2024 @03:26PM (#39434378)
As part of our benchmarking of Groq we have asked Groq regarding quantization and they have assured us they are running models at full FP-16. It's a good point and important to check.

Link to benchmarking: https://artificialanalysis.ai/ (Note question was regarding API rather than their chat demo)

Re:Groq runs Mixtral 8x7B-32k with 500 T/s on Monday February 19, 2024 @02:55PM (#39433978)
Groq's API performance reaches close to this level of performance as well. We've benchmarked performance over time and >400 tokens/s has sustained - can see here https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/mixtral-8x7b-instruct (bottom of page for over time view)
Hey com2kid - if you're still there, we did end up adding boxplots to show variance. Can be seen on the models page https://artificialanalysis.ai/models and on each models page where you view hosts by clicking one of the models. They are toward the end of the page under 'Detailed performance metrics'
Definitely agree with your point on Claude Instant though. Much less than half the price, much higher throughput/speed for a relatively small quality decrease (varied by how 'quality' is measured, use-case)
Hi, we have this if you take a look at the models page (https://artificialanalysis.ai/models) and scroll down to 'Latency', and also on the API host comparison pages for each model (e.g. https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/llama-2-chat-70b)
We have Claude Instant on the models page: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models Can add it via the select at the top right of each card where it says '9 Selected' (below the highlight charts)
Model quality index methodology is as per this comment (can add perplexity using the dropdown): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39014985#39017632

It's a combination of different quality metrics which have Perplexity, overall, not performing as well. That being said, I think we are in the very early stages of model quality scoring/ranking - and (for closed sourced models) we are seeing frequent changes. Will be interesting to see how measures evolve / model ranks change

Thanks for the feedback and glad it is useful! Yes, agree might better representative of future use. I think a view of variance would be a good idea, currently just shown in over-time views - maybe a histogram of response times or a box and whisker. We have a newsletter subscribe form on the website or twitter (https://twitter.com/ArtificialAnlys) if you want to follow future updates
Hi HN, Thanks for checking this out! Goal with this project is to provide objective benchmarks and analysis of LLM AI models and API hosting providers to compare which to use in your next (or current) project. Benchmark comparisons include quality, price, technical performance (e.g. throughput, latency).

Twitter thread with initial insights: https://twitter.com/ArtificialAnlys/status/17472648324397343...

All feedback is welcome

We have this (and other more detailed metrics) on the models page https://artificialanalysis.ai/models if you scroll down and for individual hosts if you click into a model (nav or click one of the model bars/bubbles) :)

There are some interesting views of throughput vs. latency whereby some models are slower to the first chunk but faster for subsequent chunks and vice versa, and so suit different use cases (e.g. if just want a true/false vs. more detailed model responses)
