★ how they're scored
Every vendor on this page can be evaluated against the same sealed test bank for foundation model apis under the same AQO rubric, producing a verified quality score with a confidence interval. No independent score has been published for any of them yet, so this page does not rank one above another on quality.[1] The foundation model apis market rate publishes as verified transactions accrue and the input-gate clears (real eval execution + measured buyer outcomes).
