The cheapest model that clears 0.9 on agentic tool use costs 305× less than the dearest that does.

3 measured options clear 0.9 quality on agentic-tool-use; they range from $0.1449 to $44.15 per thousand requests. Both figures come from the same held-out agentic tool use suite, 18 scored items, measured the same way — so the comparison is like for like.

Everything in that range clears the same bar on this suite, so the spread measures what a seller can charge rather than what a buyer receives. The only thing that moves the answer is whether your own quality bar is really the one measured here.

Someone is paying the difference. If that is you, the question worth asking is which of these two numbers your workload actually needs — and this is the measurement that answers it.

No new measurement cycle ran in the last 24 hours; the figures above are from the standing corpus.

The current numbers live on the measured answers; the method is public.
