Smartest AI Models (by Intelligence)
This ranked list presents the smartest AI models ordered by intelligence index, emphasizing their performance on complex tasks with large context windows. Considerations include output speed, pricing per million tokens, multimodal capabilities, and limitations such as safety alignments or latency on maximum contexts. All entries feature context sizes near or at 1M tokens from providers like Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Alibaba Qwen, and MiniMax.
It earns the top spot with the highest intelligence_index of 64.9 and strengths in coherent handling of very large contexts plus strong integration of text and visual inputs.
It ranks second due to its intelligence_index of 61.4, effective large-context handling, and nuanced reasoning as a fast multimodal model from Anthropic.
It secures third place with an intelligence_index of 61.4, excelling in handling extremely long inputs and strong multimodal integration of text, images, and files.
It places fourth based on its intelligence_index of 57.3 and strengths in nuanced reasoning with a fast variant for reduced latency on massive inputs.
It ranks fifth with an intelligence_index of 57.3, offering versatile handling of text, image, and file inputs alongside careful safety-aligned responses.
It earns sixth position via an intelligence_index of 57.2, native support for audio, image, video, and text, plus strong integration across modalities at high speed.
It reaches seventh with an intelligence_index of 56.8 and excels at seamless text-image-file integration for large-scale document tasks at 163.44 t/s output speed.
It lands eighth due to its intelligence_index of 56.6, effective million-token context processing, and strong multilingual capabilities as an open-weight model.
It places ninth with an intelligence_index of 54.8, high speed of 185.53 t/s, and versatile multimodal integration for text, image, video, and audio.
It completes the list at tenth with an intelligence_index of 54.7 and unified handling of text, image, and video across a 1M-token context at low cost.
Multimodal coding model with 400k-token context from OpenAI.
Open-weight multimodal model for million-token text and image tasks.
