### Ranked by validation index

 ↑ Higher is better

Showing 7 of 13 models · All workflows · Validation index

Category-normalized validation index. Equal scores share the same performance; ordering does not break ties. [How we measure ↗](https://www.plotune.net/research/methodology)

 Reading the results 

Fable 5.1 shares or holds the highest validation index for all workflows. Open a model above to compare its strengths across all six workflows.

How to read this chart+

Each point is one model, colored by provider. Higher and further left is better. The dotted Pareto frontier connects models where no other model scores at least as well on both axes and strictly better on one. The shaded corner marks a strong combination of performance and cost. Cost and time are benchmark-wide averages; the workflow filter changes the validation index.
