A per-model winner combines blended price and estimated 500-token response time with equal proportional weight. Ties and rows missing either measurement receive no badge. Comparison data calculated Jul 16, 2026, 8:19 AM UTC. Values use one deterministic route per provider and model; missing measurements remain visible as N/a.
