AI model cost vs intelligence
Artificial Analysis's scatter plot drew 702.9K views on X: 13x its typical post and #7 of 123 Artificial Analysis charts we track by views. Read Oct 13, 2026.
GPT-5.6 Sol and Luna are ahead of Terra at every point on the Intelligence vs Cost per Task chart. GPT-5.6 Luna stands out as a particularly cost efficient model
Why it spread
The post spread because it paired a clear competitive claim about GPT-5.6 Sol, Luna and Terra with a scatter chart of the cost and intelligence tradeoff, and it reached 702,934 views with 3,183 likes, 288 reposts, 170 quotes and 1,595 saves, far above the account's typical 41 likes.
What worked
- The headline makes a direct, easy to repeat claim that Sol and Luna beat Terra at every point, which gives people a reason to share and argue.
- The scatter form is unusual for this account and for the topic, and the quote rate sits in the top quarter, so the chart invited commentary rather than just passive likes.
- The post is branded and the source reach is above average, so the chart carried a recognizable identity while the topic stayed broadly relevant.
What to borrow
We could take one of our own model comparisons and frame it as a single sentence claim about which option wins across the whole tradeoff, then show it as a scatter of cost against capability with our own data.
Careful
Do not copy the missing source line or treat the quote volume as pure praise, since many quotes may be challenges, and do not over-read the saves and views as proof that the chart design itself drove the spread.

Use this chart via API
On the Max plan you can pull this chart's numbers with the provenance of each one, as JSON or CSV, with its redraw spec, or call it from an agent over MCP. Chart id b8f75e0087be.
Approximate values. Our two readings of this chart agreed only in part (confidence 0.46 of 1), so check the original before you quote a number. The API marks it lowConfidence, and ?min_confidence=0.5 leaves it out.
