LLM Parameters: GPT-5 High, Medium, Low and Minimal
New LLMs, such as OpenAI’s GPT-5 family, come with different versions (e.g., GPT-5, GPT-5-mini, and GPT-5-nano) and various parameters, including high, medium, low, and minimal. Below, we explore the differences between these versions of the models by gathering their benchmark performances and the costs to run these benchmarks. Price vs.
MCP Benchmark: Top MCP Servers for Web Access
MCP (Model Context Protocol) establishes a standardized communication bridge between AI agents and applications, allowing AI apps and LLMs to interact with external tools and services. We benchmarked 8 MCP servers across web search and extraction, as well as browser automation tasks, by running 4 different tasks 5 times on all suitable MCPs.
AI Reasoning Benchmark: MathR-Eval
We designed a new benchmark, Mathematical Reasoning Eval: MathR-Eval, to test the LLMs’ reasoning abilities, with 100 logical mathematics questions. Benchmark results Results show that OpenAI’s o1 and o3-mini are the best performing LLMs in our benchmark.
Vibe coding: Great for MVP But Not Ready for Production
Vibe coding is a new term that has entered our lives with AI coding tools like Cursor. It means coding by only prompting. We made several benchmarks to test the vibe coding tools, and with our experience, we decided to prepare this detailed guide.
8 AI Code Models Benchmarked: LMC-Eval
More than 37% of tasks performed on AI models are about computer programming and maths.
Speech-to-Text Benchmark: Deepgram vs. Whisper
We benchmarked the leading speech-to-text (STT) providers, focusing specifically on healthcare applications. Our benchmark used real-world examples to assess transcription accuracy in medical contexts, where precision is crucial. Benchmark results The average WER results of our tasks show that Deepgram is the leading speech-to-text provider for healthcare in this benchmark.
Top 4 AI Search Engines Compared
Searching with LLMs has become a major alternative to Google search. We benchmarked the following AI search engines to see which one provides the most correct results: Benchmark results Deepseek is the leader of this benchmark, by correctly providing 57% of the data in our ground truth dataset.
AGI Benchmark: Can AI Generate Economic Value
AI will have its greatest impact when AI systems start to create economic value autonomously. We benchmarked whether frontier models can generate economic value. We prompted them to build a new digital application (e.g., website or mobile app) that can be monetized with a SaaS or advertising-based model.
Best AI Code Editor: Cursor vs Windsurf vs Replit
Making an app without coding skills is highly trending right now. But can these tools successfully build and deploy an app? To answer this question, we benchmarked the following AI coding tools: Claude Code, Cline, Cursor, Replit and Windsurf Editor by Codeium.
Top AI Website Generators Benchmarked
To find the most helpful prompt-to-website creator, we benchmarked the following tools: If you need to learn about no-code AI website generator tools, you can follow the links: Benchmark results We conducted this benchmark using the latest versions of the tools available as of January 2025.
