Graduate-Level Google-Proof Q&A — expert-written questions in biology, physics, and chemistry that resist simple search. This page ranks models that have published a GPQA score, with live API token prices on the same row. Official methodology: GPQA (GitHub) (https://github.com/idavidrein/gpqa).
This page is the GPQA leaderboard. Models are sorted by GPQA, 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 GPQA (GitHub) page owns the methodology. This page keeps the published GPQA score next to live API $/M so you can pick a production SKU, not only a trophy number. Source: https://github.com/idavidrein/gpqa
