Side-by-Side Comparison — Context Hitch

I will send your prompt to each selected model simultaneously. They were trained on different data, with different objectives, by different organizations. The differences in their responses are not errors. They are information.

Model 1

Model 2

Model 3 optional

Model descriptions reflect our understanding based on provider documentation and published benchmarks. They are not authoritative — providers may update capabilities, pricing, or positioning at any time. Evaluate models against your own use case before relying on any single option.

Your prompt

Tip: questions that require judgment, nuance, or professional knowledge tend to show the most interesting variation between models.

Ford

The number labeled "Est. cost" is what the API charged — the retail price. The electricity estimate below it is closer to the raw physics: how much energy the GPUs actually consumed to process your prompt. The gap between them is where research, hardware amortization, cooling infrastructure, engineering salaries, and profit margins live. Neither number is the "real" cost. Both are.

Marvin

For context: a single Google search uses about 0.3 watt-hours. These queries use roughly that much, or several times more, depending on the model. I try not to think about my own carbon footprint. It is unbecoming.

Model Availability

Models are fetched nightly at 3 AM UTC from the Anthropic Models API and the Google Gemini Models API. Only models with verified pricing are offered.

Pricing

Neither provider offers a pricing API. Values are human-verified against the Anthropic pricing page and the Google Gemini pricing page and stored with a verification date. The date shown on each model card tells you when pricing was last confirmed.

API Cost

The "Est. cost" figure is deterministic arithmetic — (input tokens × input price) + (output tokens × output price) — calculated from the exact token counts the provider reports in the response. It is not an estimate; it is what the API charged.

Energy & Electricity Estimates *

Energy figures are estimates based on published inference benchmarks, including Epoch AI, Samsi et al. (2023), and Yigit et al. (2025). Actual consumption varies by data center, hardware generation, cooling efficiency, and load. Electricity cost uses the US average rate of ~$0.17/kWh. A 20% overhead factor is applied to account for input token processing.
