Compound interest over three years: every AI model's reply, tested

We sent this everyday math prompt to all 16 models in llmwise, the same way the app sends a message, and checked every reply the same way. Here's each one as it came, with whether it passed, what it cost and how long it took.

Based on 16 of our test runs on , through OpenRouter with the app's own prompt and settings. Updated .

Short answer

All 16 models passed this math prompt's check (final answer). The cheapest reply that passed was GPT-6 Luna's, at $0.000080; the fastest, GLM 5.3's in 0.6 s. The dearest reply, Gemini 3.1 Pro's, cost 124 times as much ($0.0099).

The prompt, as sent, and its check

Checked by final answer, the same way for every model.

Compound interest over three years (everyday)

You put $2,000 in a savings account that pays 5% interest a year, compounded once a year. How much interest have you earned after 3 years, to the cent?
Show your working briefly, then end with a line that says "Final answer: " followed by the answer alone.

The final answer must be 315.25.

    To find the total amount $A$ after 3 years:
    $A = P(1 + r)^t$
    $A = 2000 \times (1 + 0.05)^3$
    $A = 2000 \times (1.05)^3$
    $A = 2000 \times 1.157625 = 2315.25$
    
    To find the interest earned:
    $\text{Interest} = A - P = 2315.25 - 2000 = 315.25$

    I'll calculate the compound interest for you.
    
    **Formula:** A = P(1 + r)^n
    
    Where:
    - P = Principal = $2,000
    - r = Annual interest rate = 0.05
    - n = Number of years = 3
    
    **Calculation:**
    - Year 1: $2,000 × 1.05 = $2,100.00
    - Year 2: $2,100 × 1.05 = $2,205.00
    - Year 3: $2,205 × 1.05 = $2,315.25
    
    **Interest earned:**
    $2,315.25 - $2,000.00 = $315.25

  16. Gemini 3.1 Pro

    Passed: Final answer 315.25: right.

    To find the interest earned, we first calculate the total amount in the account after 3 years using the compound interest formula: A = P(1 + r)^t.
    
    *   **Principal (P):** $2,000
    *   **Rate (r):** 5% or 0.05
    *   **Time (t):** 3 years
    
    Year 1: $2,000 \times 1.05 = $2,100.00
    Year 2: $2,100 \times 1.05 = $2,205.00
    Year 3: $2,205 \times 1.05 = $2,315.25
    
    Total amount after 3 years = $2,315.25
    Total interest earned = Total amount - Principal
    Total interest = $2,315.25 - $2,000.00 = $315.25
    
    Final answer: $315.25
