These models have different pricing structures and specifications, with Gemini 3.8 Flash being the most cost-effective at $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens. However, Gemini 3.8 Flash has a lower maximum output token limit of 65,536 compared to Claude Fable 5.1's 128K tokens and GPT-5.6 Sol's 128K tokens. Artificial Analysis has assigned an Intelligence Index score of 59 to Gemini 3.8 Flash, 57 to Claude Fable 5.1, and 59 to GPT-5.6 Sol, based on high and medium effort settings respectively. Developers should consider the trade-offs between pricing, maximum output token limits, and the specific needs of their workloads when choosing a model for their applications.",
