APEX-Agents — agent execution benchmark across professional workflows. This page ranks models that have published a APEX-Agents score, with live API token prices on the same row.
This page is the APEX-Agents leaderboard. Models are sorted by APEX-Agents, 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 APEX-Agents score next to live API $/M so you can pick a production SKU, not only a trophy number.
