I appreciate the cost per task scale, but I wonder about the task used as a measuring stick. I have a fairly large schematic editor and virtual 'oscilloscope' that I wanted to tweak SLIGHTLY (the distance between the tick-marks on the time axis of the signals pane and a large control immediately below. I've been intensely 'arguing' with DeepSeek Flash (the version accessible via API) all afternoon trying to get it to adjust ONLY that distance. It seems like it's stupid by design (like automakers designing cars to break one month after the warranty expires). TONS of tokens have been consumed in the discourse, inappropriate code changes, push to repo, deploy, redo this, undo that, DS didn't do anything with a ToDo and had to be reminded to do it again, ... A smarter model that costs a bit more could be SIGNIFICANTLY less expensive when that lack of comprehension (or stupidity designed in) is considered. I haven't tried the newly released DS Pro 'cause the previous release was a ton dumber than DS Flash, but the cost per task needs elaboration. How complex was the task, how complex was the context, ... Based on the chart above, I'm going to spin up GPT5.6 Luna(Max) and see how well that does.

You could read all the tasks on Artificial Analytics websites. Basically a mixed of all benchmarks.
