## 1 · Current stack rank (March 2026)

| Rank | Model | Why we reach for it |
| ---- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 1 | **Claude Opus 4.7** | Newest Anthropic flagship with **Max** reasoning; top pick for the hardest work. Promotional 1× multiplier through April 30 (2× afterward). |
| 2 | **Claude Opus 4.6** | Previous Anthropic flagship with **Max** reasoning; still excellent depth and safety for complex work. |
| 3 | **Claude Opus 4.6 Fast** | Opus 4.6 tuned for faster response times; 12× multiplier. |
| 4 | **Claude Opus 4.5** | Proven quality-and-safety balance; strong default for TUI and exec. |
| 5 | **Claude Sonnet 4.6** | **Max** reasoning at the Sonnet price point (1.2×); strong daily driver for planning and implementation. |
| 6 | **GPT-5.4** | Latest OpenAI model with 922K context, 128K output, verbosity support, and **Extra High** reasoning; excellent for large-context tasks. |
| 7 | **Claude Sonnet 4.5** | Strong daily driver with balanced cost/quality; great general-purpose choice when you don't need Opus-level depth. |
| 8 | **GPT-5.3-Codex** | Newest OpenAI coding model with **Extra High** reasoning and verbosity support; strong for implementation-heavy tasks. |
| 9 | **GPT-5.2-Codex** | Proven OpenAI coding model with **Extra High** reasoning; solid for implementation-heavy tasks. |
| 10 | **GPT-5.2** | OpenAI model with verbosity support and reasoning up to **Extra High**. |
| 11 | **Claude Haiku 4.5** | Fast, cost-efficient for routine tasks and high-volume automation. |
| 12 | **Gemini 3.1 Pro** | Newer Gemini Pro generation with strong structured outputs and mixed reasoning controls for research-heavy tasks. |
| 13 | **Gemini 3 Flash** | Fast, cheap (0.2× multiplier) with full reasoning support; great for high-volume tasks where speed matters. |
| 14 | **Droid Core (MiniMax M2.7)** | Open-source, 0.12× multiplier with reasoning support (Low/Medium/High) and image support; cheapest model available. |
| 15 | **Droid Core (GLM-5.1)** | Open-source, 0.55× multiplier, newer GLM option for bulk automation and air-gapped environments; no image support. |
| 16 | **Droid Core (GLM-5)** | Open-source, 0.4× multiplier, stable choice for bulk automation and air-gapped environments; no image support. |
| 17 | **Droid Core (Kimi K2.6)** | Open-source, 0.4× multiplier with image support and optional High reasoning; good for cost-sensitive work when you still want a thinking toggle. |
| 18 | **Droid Core (Kimi K2.5)** | Open-source, 0.25× multiplier with image support; older Kimi option for cost-sensitive work. |

[P1] Keep Nemotron reflected in config sections

This table adds Droid Core (NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra) and describes it as open-source, but the later Reasoning effort settings list and Open-source models section don’t mention it; that makes the guide internally inconsistent and leaves readers without configuration guidance for the newly-recommended model (also consider bumping the “last updated” date since the page content changed).

[P2] Hyphenate “long-running” in the new row

In the new Nemotron entry, “long running” is used as a compound adjective; hyphenating it reads more naturally and avoids the common ambiguity in English.
