benchr
Primary sources
Pricing, capability, release-date, and deprecation claims are sourced from the model provider's own documentation. When a claim cannot be sourced to a primary document, the claim is removed or marked as uncertain.
Independence
benchr does not accept sponsored content, paid placement, or affiliate fees from AI providers. No model receives more favorable coverage in exchange for compensation. The publication is independent of any provider.
Verifiability
Every numeric claim in an article should be traceable to a primary source. Pricing claims link to the provider's pricing page. Benchmark scores link to the benchmark maintainer — including LMSYS Arena, SWE-bench Verified, ARC-AGI, and SimpleBench. Release dates link to the provider's announcement. Where a claim is the publication's own analysis rather than a sourced fact, it is presented as analysis.
Use of AI in production
benchr is independent — no AI provider sponsors it, and it takes no affiliate fees from AI providers. AI tools are used to draft and update articles; every factual claim (pricing, benchmarks, dates) is checked against the provider's primary source before publishing.
What is and isn't covered
In scope: pricing, benchmarks, capability comparisons, context windows, deprecation status, use-case recommendations, and analysis of the closed and open model markets.
Out of scope: AGI and AI safety policy debates, model-training research, AI as a social phenomenon. Standalone reviews of dedicated image- or video-generation services (Midjourney, Sora, etc.) are also out of scope. Use-case guides covering image and video generation as a feature of text-first models (GPT, Claude, Gemini) are in scope.
