ERQA โ Embodied Reasoning QA. Spatial and physical questions from images, not textbook science. This page ranks models that have published a ERQA score, with live API token prices on the same row.
This page is the ERQA leaderboard. Models are sorted by ERQA, 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.
Official eval pages own the methodology. This page keeps the published ERQA score next to live API $/M so you can pick a production SKU, not only a trophy number.
