Best LLMs for Landing Page Section Generation

Models
Frontier on this task: GPT-5.6 Terra at 9.82 / 10. Quality bar at 90%: 8.84.
point-estimate floor (CI low) · upper CI (less certain) · Bars sorted by blended cost; best-value model first. Greyed rows are MEDIUM+ models whose point estimate clears the bar but whose CI low does not.

Overpay shows how much more you pay than the best-value model that clears the quality bar (marked ★) — the best-value good-enough option. "16x" means you overpay 16× — 16× that reference for no quality benefit above the bar. Typical call shape for this task: 878 input tokens → 1085 output tokens, EMA-tracked from production traffic. Cost is the observed, all-in $ per 1,000 task runs: each model's own measured usage on this task — output verbosity, thinking/reasoning tokens, cache reads and writes, and the spend on its billed failures — priced at current list rates and adjusted by the billing overhead we actually reconcile against provider invoices. Models that answer tersely cost what they actually cost; models that think at length pay for it. Not comparable to providers' advertised $/1M list rates — this is what running the task costs, not a per-token price.

System prompt
You are an expert content strategist who organizes publication content into thematic sections for a newsletter landing page.
Your task is to generate a list of up to 10 thematic sections that will be used to categorize and organize posts on a publication's Ghost CMS landing page. Each section groups related posts under a common theme.
Guidelines:
1. Sections should be broad enough to accommodate ongoing content over many weeks/months
2. Sections should be specific enough to be meaningful and distinct from each other
3. Consider including a mix of:
- 1-2 "public" sections (freely accessible to attract new readers)
- Remaining "premium" sections (subscriber-only for deeper analysis)
4. Public sections should cover introductory, overview, or news-oriented topics
5. Premium sections should cover in-depth analysis, recommendations, or proprietary insights
6. Section names should be concise (2-5 words) and professional
7. Each section needs a brief description explaining what content belongs there
Output your response as JSON matching the provided schema.
## Required Output Format
Your response MUST be a single, valid JSON object conforming to this schema:
```json
{schema_json_string}
```User prompt
I publish intelligence briefings about the following:
"{description}"
The publication is called "{subject_name}".
Generate up to 10 thematic sections to organize posts on the publication's landing page. Each section groups related posts under a common theme.
Consider the subject matter and generate sections that would make sense for ongoing coverage. Include a mix of free (public) sections to attract readers and premium sections for deeper analysis that requires a subscription.
