Artificial Analysis

Artificial Analysis has established itself as one of the most valuable independent resources for comparing LLM performance across multiple dimensions. Unlike many benchmark sites that focus solely on quality metrics, it excels at providing a holistic view that includes speed (tokens per second), latency, pricing, and quality benchmarks across dozens of API providers. The interactive visualizations make it easy to compare models on price-performance tradeoffs, which is incredibly useful for developers making deployment decisions. The site covers major providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and Mistral, with regular updates as new models launch. A standout feature is the ability to compare the same model across different hosting providers, revealing significant performance and cost differences. The clean, data-rich interface is intuitive and requires no signup. Limitations include reliance on a curated set of benchmarks rather than exhaustive evaluation suites, and some niche or smaller models may be underrepresented. For a completely free tool, Artificial Analysis delivers exceptional value and has become an essential resource for anyone evaluating LLM APIs.
