Cost Frontier
A concept derived from the Pareto frontier in multi-objective optimization, referring to the optimal curve in the cost-performance plane that is not dominated by any other point, used to assess the highest score a model achieves at a given cost.

In the CursorBench benchmark, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash lands on the cost frontier at every effort tier, with per-task cost ranging from $0.60 to $0.98.
The cost frontier derives from the Pareto frontier concept in economics and multi-objective optimization: the models that achieve the highest score at a given cost level form the frontier curve, and models lying on the curve are Pareto optimal.
