Rankings

Which models and coding tools builders pick, and which they actually run. Votes come from people. Usage comes from reported tokens. Neither one is a benchmark.

All-time votes. Usage share is each model's part of all reported tokens in the same period, from the open-source companion. Prices, where shown, are list prices added with the entry.Vote in every category

One vote per category

Each account picks one model for Best paid, one for Best open source, one for Best value and one coding tool, every month. Change your pick any time before the month ends.

Tokens never add weight

A vote from someone who runs a model all day counts the same as anyone else's. Voters who also report using it show as "uses it" on its page.

Two different signals

Votes show what people recommend. Usage share shows what the companion reports people running. When they disagree, that's worth reading about.
