## 1 · Current stack rank (June 2026)

| Rank | Model | Why we reach for it |
| ---- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 1 | **Claude Fable 5**<sup>\*</sup> | First public release Mythos model; top pick for multi-step autonomous engineering work. 4× multiplier. |
| 2 | **Claude Opus 4.8** | Newest Anthropic flagship with **Max** reasoning; top pick for hardest work. 2× multiplier. |
| 3 | **Claude Opus 4.8 Fast** | Opus 4.8 tuned for faster response times; 4× multiplier. |
| 4 | **Claude Opus 4.7** | Anthropic flagship with **Max** reasoning; top pick for the hardest work. 2× multiplier. |
| 5 | **Claude Opus 4.7 Fast** | Opus 4.7 tuned for faster response times; 12× multiplier. |
| 6 | **Claude Opus 4.6** | Previous Anthropic flagship with **Max** reasoning; still excellent depth and safety for complex work. |
| 7 | **Claude Opus 4.6 Fast** | Opus 4.6 tuned for faster response times; 12× multiplier. |
| 8 | **Claude Opus 4.5** | Proven quality-and-safety balance; strong default for TUI and exec. |
| 9 | **Claude Sonnet 4.6** | **Max** reasoning at the Sonnet price point (1.2×); strong daily driver for planning and implementation. |
| 10 | **GPT-5.4** | Latest OpenAI model with 922K context, 128K output, verbosity support, and **Extra High** reasoning; excellent for large-context tasks. |
| 11 | **Claude Sonnet 4.5** | Strong daily driver with balanced cost/quality; great general-purpose choice when you don't need Opus-level depth. |
| 12 | **GPT-5.3-Codex** | Newest OpenAI coding model with **Extra High** reasoning and verbosity support; strong for implementation-heavy tasks. |
| 13 | **GPT-5.2-Codex** | Proven OpenAI coding model with **Extra High** reasoning; solid for implementation-heavy tasks. |
| 14 | **GPT-5.2** | OpenAI model with verbosity support and reasoning up to **Extra High**. |
| 15 | **Claude Haiku 4.5** | Fast, cost-efficient for routine tasks and high-volume automation. |
| 16 | **Gemini 3.1 Pro** | Newer Gemini Pro generation with strong structured outputs and mixed reasoning controls for research-heavy tasks. |
| 17 | **Gemini 3 Flash** | Fast, cheap (0.2× multiplier) with full reasoning support; great for high-volume tasks where speed matters. |
| 18 | **Droid Core (NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra)** | Open-source, 0.4× multiplier, fast and cost-efficient model for high-frequency automations; no image support. |
| 19 | **Droid Core (MiniMax M2.7)** | Open-source, 0.12× multiplier with reasoning support (Low/Medium/High) and image support; cheapest model available. |
| 20 | **Droid Core (GLM-5.1)** | Open-source, 0.55× multiplier, newer GLM option for bulk automation and air-gapped environments; no image support. |
| 21 | **Droid Core (GLM-5)** | Open-source, 0.4× multiplier, stable choice for bulk automation and air-gapped environments; no image support. |
| 22 | **Droid Core (Kimi K2.6)** | Open-source, 0.4× multiplier with image support and optional High reasoning; good for cost-sensitive work when you still want a thinking toggle. |
| 23 | **Droid Core (Kimi K2.5)** | Open-source, 0.25× multiplier with image support; older Kimi option for cost-sensitive work. |
