What we tested, and what came back

Each capability below is a fixed experiment: the same prompt and the same input images for every model we test. That's what makes these outputs comparable — and it's why the same bicycle shows up on every image model's page.

Each of these is a fixed experiment — the same prompt and the same input images for every model we test, so the outputs are directly comparable.

Where to run it

The same model, priced by each provider that serves it. Cheapest first — the card's headline price is the best available anywhere, which is the wrong number for choosing where to actually send your traffic.

How we test

Every claim is tagged by how we know it. Tested means we ran the model against a fixed prompt and checked the output — the images above are those runs. Researched means it's documented by the provider and cited. Nothing here is inferred.
