05
Which is cheaper, Gemini 4 Argon or GPT-6.1 Sol?
List prices are each provider’s standard rate per million tokens, cache-miss input and output. Cost per correct answer counts every attempt on the coding tasks, failed ones included, over the last 30 days.
Gemini 4 Argon lists at $4 in / $20 out per 1M tokens; GPT-6.1 Sol at $2 in / $10 out.
On a 40/60 input–output blend, Gemini 4 Argon costs about 2× as much per token as GPT-6.1 Sol.
Over the last 30 days, 1,000 correct coding answers cost about $17.50 with Gemini 4 Argon and $6.65 with GPT-6.1 Sol, every attempt billed, failed ones included.
The cheapest model that still passes the tests is on best value AI model.
06
Which is faster, Gemini 4 Argon or GPT-6.1 Sol?
Median response time of one attempt or one session, from the same runs as the scores, over the last 30 days.
Median response time on the coding tasks over the last 30 days: Gemini 4 Argon 9.2 s, GPT-6.1 Sol 13 s.
Gemini 4 Argon answers about 1.4× faster.
Every model’s median is on fastest AI model.
07
Is Gemini 4 Argon or GPT-6.1 Sol getting worse?
Page-Hinkley change-point detection (a CUSUM-family test) runs per suite on each model’s daily median, with every constant published; a real shift is confirmed over days, not hours. An hourly canary of two fixed coding probes catches sharp drops.
Gemini 4 Argon is holding steady on the 24-hour board.
GPT-6.1 Sol is holding steady on the 24-hour board; no Page-Hinkley detection on coding, reasoning or tool use.
The family pages answer the question for every model of a provider: Is Gemini getting worse? and Is ChatGPT getting worse?. The method is on AI drift detection.

08
Should I use Gemini 4 Argon or GPT-6.1 Sol?
Only a difference that clears a threshold counts: a board lead beyond the measurement noise (the leaderboard’s own tie rule), 10% on list price, 20% on response time or cost per correct answer.
Choose Gemini 4 Argon when
- response time matters: a median of 9.2 s on the coding tasks against 13 s over the last 30 days
Choose GPT-6.1 Sol when
- the work is coding: it leads the Coding board by 28 points in the last 24 hours (93 ± 0.8 against 65 ± 2.5)
- price per token matters: it lists at $2 in / $10 out per 1M tokens against $4 in / $20 out
- cost per correct answer matters: about $6.65 per 1,000 correct coding answers against $17.50 over the last 30 days

Can I route between Gemini 4 Argon and GPT-6.1 Sol automatically?
One OpenAI-compatible endpoint sends each request to whichever model the boards favour for that kind of work, with your own provider keys.
Yes. The Smart Router is one OpenAI-compatible endpoint with 14 auto-* routing modes: a quality mode such as auto-coding sends each request to the model placing highest on that board, the value modes pick within 5 points of the best and then the cheapest measured cost per run, and auto-split sends traffic by weights you set. Routing is drift-aware by default, uses your own provider keys and adds zero markup on tokens. Free includes 1,000 routed requests a month.
Every mode is described in the router documentation.

How we test Gemini 4 Argon and GPT-6.1 Sol
Every model on the board runs the same tasks on the same schedule: coding every four hours, reasoning and tool use daily, with an hourly canary probe.
Scores come from our own runs through each provider’s public API, not vendor-reported numbers. Every model gets the same prompts and output budget, and the same sampling settings wherever a provider accepts them, and is graded by executing what it produces. Every score carries a standard error from its own run-to-run repeatability; models whose lead is inside that noise share a place, written joint.
The methodology is public — every weight, statistical test and drift constant. The test tasks are private, so no lab can train on them. The full method, weights and constants are on the methodology page.
