9 models compared · Data powered by Artificial Analysis
Ranked comparison of 9 AI models for analysis tasks. Claude Opus 4.5 leads on quality (score 72), while DeepSeek R1 (Free) provides the most affordable entry point.
Data analysis tasks demand models with strong reasoning, the ability to process large contexts, and accurate numerical understanding. Models with reasoning capabilities significantly outperform standard models on analytical tasks.
For complex analysis — financial modeling, competitive research, data interpretation — frontier-class models are worth the premium. For routine reporting and summarization, mid-range models deliver strong results at a fraction of the cost.
Context window size matters for analysis: larger contexts let the model process more data in a single pass, reducing the need for chunking and improving coherence.
