Pareto 26.10 compared to other AI models

Pareto 26.10: $0.80 input and $3.20 output per million tokens. The cheaper choice depends on your input-to-output ratio; a model can have a lower input rate but a higher output rate.

For an example workload of 20 million input tokens and 5 million output tokens per month: Pareto 26.10: $32. These are token-only estimates using the displayed rates, without caching discounts, additional tool charges or taxes. Actual bills depend on usage and endpoint pricing.

Pareto 26.10: 1M tokens of context; maximum output 131K tokens. Context capacity and maximum output are separate limits. A larger context window allows more material in a request but does not guarantee more accurate answers.

Pareto 26.10: Artificial Analysis SciCode not listed. Compare coding results within the same evaluation, then test representative tasks from your own codebase. A missing score is not a zero, and a single benchmark does not establish the best model for every programming task.

These evaluations measure different tasks and use different scales. Arena Elo and DesignArena ratings must remain separate, as must Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and MMLU-Pro. Compare models within the same evaluation rather than combining scores. Missing results are marked Not listed, not treated as measured zeroes.

Pareto 26.10: Artificial Analysis output speed not listed; time to first token not listed. Output speed measures generation throughput, while time to first token measures the initial wait. Real-world latency also depends on the API provider, request size and load; missing measurements cannot establish a speed winner.

Pareto 26.10: listed input formats: text, image; output formats: text. Input and output support are different capabilities: accepting an image does not mean a model generates images. Confirm formats and file limits for the endpoint you plan to use.

Pareto 26.10: listed features: Function calling, Prompt caching. Only recorded capabilities are shown; an unlisted feature is not proof that it is unsupported. Availability can vary by API provider, so confirm tool calling and JSON schema support for your chosen endpoint.

Pareto 26.10: cached input price $0.03 per million tokens. Caching may reduce charges for eligible repeated input when supported by the endpoint. A listed cached rate does not guarantee every request qualifies; cache duration, minimum token counts and any write charges depend on the provider.

Pareto 26.10: catalog status active; API identifier pareto-26.10; listed API hosts Unbiased. Catalog status is not a live availability check. Before integrating, verify the provider's documentation, endpoint access, rate limits, regional availability and data-handling terms.
