Some data for models scoring at or above Qwen3.8 27B on the AAI Index, sorted by "cost efficiency" defined as AAI's index score divided by AAI's cost-per-task. Speed (tps throughput) is the best value sampled from OR at the moment I happened to look.

Interestingly, Luna is the still most cost-efficient model (if AAI can be believed), and DeepSeek V4 Flash is 2nd.

Qwen-3.8 27B is only 4th on this metric, but of all these models, it's the only one you could run on a laptop.
