8 models ranked by Artificial Analysis score and cost per task
Meta's first frontier model Muse Wonder ties for second, Claude Opus 5.5 leads, GPT-6 Astra lands in B-tier at $3.26 per task, and GPT-6.1 Sol is the value pick at $0.72.
Meta's first frontier model just dropped. Its best version ties for 2nd out of 8: I ranked 8 models by Artificial Analysis' score. And I added what each costs to run one test task. New to AI? Start here: https://charliehills.substack.com/p/resource S-TIER (58/100) ↳ Claude Opus 5.5 - top score, $5.98 a task A-TIER (56/100) ↳ Claude Sonnet 5.5 - $5.46 a task ↳ Muse Wonder Full - new, Muse Code only B-TIER (53/100) ↳ GPT-6 Astra - $3.26 a task ↳ Claude Fable 5.1 - $7.63 a task ↳ Gemini 4 Argon - $1.99, limited access C-TIER (52/100) ↳ Muse Wonder - new, $4.52 a task ↳ GPT-6.1 Sol - $0.72, best value on the list So is Meta back? I'd say close, but behind Opus 5.5 (for now). You pay Opus 5.5 prices for Muse Wonder. And you get six points less. If value matters, I'd look at GPT-6.1 Sol. It scores 52 for $0.72 a task.
