AI model cost vs intelligence
Artificial Analysis's line chart drew 44.3K views on X: 3.9x @artificialanlys's median post and #560 of 1,162 AI chart posts we hold by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
GPT-6 Sol and Luna continue to push the cost efficiency frontier for OpenAI. The two new models halve the cost of their predecessors with similar scores in the Intelligence Index
Why it spread
This post spread because it landed on a hot topic that week and launch timing, with 595 likes against the account's typical 16, 25 reposts, 14 quotes, 54 saves, and 44,282 views.
What worked
- The post ties the chart to a clear news hook: two new models halving cost with similar scores in the Intelligence Index.
- The line chart shows the trade-off between Intelligence and Cost per Intelligence across model releases, which is a simple, repeatable framing.
- The post includes a source line and medium design polish and self labelling, making it credible enough to share without being overproduced.
What to borrow
We can use the same form by pairing a timely launch or update with a line chart that tracks one clear trade-off across our own releases, and by keeping the framing to a single sentence about what changed.
Careful
Do not over-read the quote rate, which was below average, or assume the design or unusual form drove the spread, since both were low to medium and the main reasons were the hot topic and launch timing.

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 68c1d12b1b15.
Approximate values. Our two readings of this chart agreed only in part (confidence 0.31 of 1), so check the original before you quote a number. The API marks it lowConfidence, and ?min_confidence=0.5 leaves it out.
