This page is the CharXiv-R leaderboard. Models are sorted by CharXiv-R, 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 CharXiv-R score next to live API $/M so you can pick a production SKU, not only a trophy number.
