Which is cheaper?

Claude 3 Opus costs $15.00 per million input tokens and $75.00 per million output tokens; GPT-4 Turbo costs $10.00 and $30.00. That makes GPT-4 Turbo about 56% cheaper for the same work.

How do you compare the two?

We use the 24 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 4 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 20 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
