Cost vs Long-Context Reasoning

171 priced models
Most attractive quadrant (cheap + high)
= reasoning model (extended thinking)

Each labelled name links to that model’s page. Curated to the cost-efficiency frontier, top scorers and cheapest so labels stay readable; the full field is in the leaderboard table below (and via “select all”). Reasoning models (extended “thinking” before answering) carry a ring around the dot.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Long-Context Reasoning benchmark?

Measures a model’s ability to retrieve, synthesise and reason across very long inputs spanning tens to hundreds of thousands of tokens, beyond simple fact lookup. Artificial Analysis reports this as AA-LCR; the broader category also draws on evaluations such as RULER and LongBench.

Which AI model scores highest on Long-Context Reasoning?

GPT-5.2-Codex (OpenAI) leads with 76%, from $1.75 per 1M input tokens.

How many models are ranked on Long-Context Reasoning?

322 models carry a Long-Context Reasoning score. Scores come from Artificial Analysis; where a model has a live API price it is verified against LiteLLM and OpenRouter, and models with no current price are listed without one.
