What it is

An independent ranking of which gateway models are worth running this week. It is not an official Vercel product.

How it ranks

Catalog price and capabilities, seven-day token and spend share, sale pricing, and quality scores (DeepsecBench and Artificial Analysis). Cheap, workhorse, frontier, and rising slots are separate jobs, not one blended score.

What you can do

Copy a model id, open the gateway route, and see whether the priced endpoint is zero data retention with no training.
