OpenAI: o3 Pro
OpenAI's o3 Pro is a premium reasoning model with strong benchmark scores, vision support, tool use, and a 200K context window — designed for the most demanding analytical and technical tasks. Its high price ($20/1M input) reflects its positioning as a top-tier offering, and it meets the intelligence threshold for top-tier classification, though its cost limits value-for-money appeal.

The o-series of models are trained with reinforcement learning to think before they answer and perform complex reasoning. The o3-pro model uses more compute to think harder and provide consistently better answers. Note that BYOK is required for this model. Set up here: https://openrouter.ai/settings/integrations
