Too close to call: Gemma 3 27B and Qwen2.5-72B are within the margin of error.

Green marks the better of the two on each row, red the other. Rows where one side isn't listed, or where the gap is too close to call, stay plain.

Not sure where to start? Which AI should I use? gives a pick for what you want to do. How to read AI rankings explains the numbers.

Rankings from LMArena and Epoch AI, both CC BY 4.0, updated 2h ago. Developer prices, context windows and knowledge cutoffs from the labs' own listings on models.dev and from OpenRouter. The app links go to each maker's own app when no source says exactly where the model is available.
