Reasoning models, ranked

A reasoning model thinks in tokens before it answers, and those tokens are output tokens on your bill. The quality gain on multi-step problems is real, and so is the multiplier: we reserve roughly three times the usual output when a request goes to one of these, then charge only what the model actually used.
