Artificial Analysis Adds Provider Cache Hit Rates and Cost per Task Comparisons

Artificial Analysis now publishes cache hit rates for tracked first-party and third-party model endpoints, along with provider-level Cost per Task comparisons for open weights models. It measures cache hit rates by running multi-turn agentic coding tasks and reading cached-token counts from each provider’s usage response. The cost comparisons apply each provider’s input, output, cache hit and cache write prices at its measured cache hit rate, using the same token counts from each model’s Intelligence Index run. Artificial Analysis reports that GLM-5.3 (max) costs about nine times as much per task on Nebius ($8.68) as on Makora ($0.92), largely because of input pricing despite both providers having high cache hit rates. Across 21 providers covering 25 endpoints, measured cache hit rates range from 41% to 100%.
