How to evaluate a model for your work →

FROM SPECIFICATIONS TO YOUR WORK

Is this the right model for your job?

Start with a realistic sample. These workflows match the model’s listed capabilities, not a verified result on your task.

What would it cost?

Pick a common job and how many times a month you run it. Token sizes are our assumption for a typical run, shown under the result.

Working out the cost...

Token prices only. Per-request, image, tool, storage and subscription fees are not included. One token is about three quarters of an English word. Real counts vary by model and language. How tokens are counted ↗

Check the source

Price date: 4 Sept 2026, from the price listed on this record. Prices are USD API token rates. Your app subscription, uploads, browsing and tools are separate.

Understand the evidence

Listed capabilities and third-party benchmark scores do not establish Enterprise DNA task-test results. Validate accuracy and total cost on your own sample.
