AutomationBench is a public LLM eval (the AutomationBench score). This page ranks models that have published a score, next to live API prices. Official methodology: AutomationBench (https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.18934).
This page is the AutomationBench leaderboard. Models are sorted by AutomationBench, with input and output token prices on the same row so you can weigh score against cost. Official boards often omit price; that comparison is the point of this index.
The official AutomationBench page owns the methodology. This page keeps the published AutomationBench score next to live API $/M so you can pick a production SKU, not only a trophy number. Source: https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.18934
