Arena Elo reflects head-to-head human preference, not cost. The fal.ai price column shows the cheapest hosted rate on fal.ai for models available there (136 matched by name) — billed per image/second/character, so it isn't directly comparable across rows. Ratings and the ±95% confidence interval are sourced from Artificial Analysis media arenas; prices from the fal.ai pricing API. Updated May 30, 2026.
