What’s happening in the rankings now
In October 2026, Claude Opus 5.5 holds the top spot with a score of 9,9 and a cost of about 18 tenge per question. It leads by a clear, though not overwhelming, margin. Next comes Claude Sonnet 5.5 with a score of 9,7 and a price of roughly 10 tenge. The score gap is just 0,2 points, while a question to Sonnet costs nearly half as much. For regular use, that is more than a cosmetic difference—it adds up to a noticeable amount.
The race is tight. Two models share third place at 9,3: Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra. Both cost around 43 tenge per question, so the same score does not mean the same value for your budget. There is another tie lower down: Muse Wonder and GPT-6.1 Sol both scored 9,1, but Wonder costs about 18 tenge, while Sol costs around 10.
The picture is heavily concentrated around Anthropic: five Claude models appear in the top ten. OpenAI takes three spots and Meta two. But the number of models alone does not decide much: the current leader belongs to Anthropic, while the cheapest model near the top is Claude Sonnet 5.5, and GPT-6.1 Sol shares sixth place with Muse Wonder at a lower price.
How to read these numbers in practice
If you want the highest possible quality and the cost per question is secondary, the choice is obvious: Claude Opus 5.5. It leads with 9,9. For regular requests involving long documents or several rounds of clarification, Claude Sonnet 5.5 looks like the more rational choice: a score of 9,7 at about 10 tenge per question.
The expensive tie around third and fourth place calls for caution. Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra both score 9,3, but a question costs roughly 43 tenge. That is 4,3 times more than Sonnet 5.5, despite a score that is 0,4 points lower. Paying that premium only makes sense for tasks where their output genuinely performs better in your evaluation.
For a more economical option, there are GPT-6.1 Sol, Muse Spark 1.3 and GPT-6 Sol, all at around 10 tenge per question. Their scores differ, however: Sol has 9,1, while Spark and GPT-6 Sol have 8,6. Our measurements show that, in this table, price alone does not predict rank: the same 10-tenge cost appears alongside results ranging from 8,6 to 9,1. The ranking helps point you in the right direction, but it does not replace testing on your own task. For medical, legal and financial decisions, these models remain assistants—not the final source of advice.
