📏 Curated ranking

Best value for long-context workloads

When you need a big context window, the right question isn't just "who has the biggest?" but "what's the cost-per-context-token?" This ranking divides input price by context window size — the cheaper the per-K-context, the better the value for context-heavy workloads.

Methodology

How this ranking is built

Active models with at least 100K context and a published input price. Ranked by an Enginerds value score that weighs price against context capacity — so the model giving you the most usable context per dollar floats to the top. Each row shows both inputs (price and context size) so you can sanity-check the order at a glance.
