⚡ Reading the numbers

Figures are per query — one chat message, one image, one video clip. Ranks run across all 166 models regardless of category.

🔍 Source confidence

Verified figures come from provider disclosures, peer-reviewed from published research, estimated from parameter-based modelling. Methodology is open source.

🌍 Regional variance

Carbon and water depend heavily on where a model is served. These figures use global-average grid intensity — regional data is on the methodology page.
