Reasoning models, lowest blended price first
Models that think before they answer, ordered by blended price.
How this list is computed
Models with reasoning support that write text and have a listed price. Sorted by a blended price of three input tokens to one output token, (3 × input + output) ÷ 4 per million tokens, lowest first; ties go to the larger context window, then the name.
237 of the 350 models in the 2026-10-24 snapshot qualify. This is not a quality ranking: SEKAI has no benchmark data.
