Which coding models are actually worth the money?
The 2026 DevPass Model Census: value, quality, and speed — rated only by developers who shipped with these models. Every rating is backed by at least 50 real requests through LLM Gateway in the past 30 days. No benchmarks, no vibes.

Doc. CS-2026Scores are 1–5 averages. Models need 5+ verified ratings to be listed; totals refresh every few minutes.
The rules of the registry
You can only rate a model your DevPass workspace has hit with 50+ requests in the past 30 days. Nobody rates a model they read a thread about.
Every respondent has an active, paid DevPass plan. These are verdicts from people spending their own credits.
A model is published only after 5 or more developers rate it, and only aggregates ever leave the building.
The census runs in quarterly waves. Your first entry of each wave earns a free Reset Pass — rate as many models as you use, but nobody can farm passes.
