What should an agent or multimodal evaluation measure?
This page compares the older editions named in its title. For current GPT-6, Claude 5.5 and Gemini 3.8 comparisons, open the current comparison library. The historical model identities are preserved for migration and reproducibility.
A hosted Claude model introduced for coding and agent workflows.
Native Messages requests differ from OpenAI Chat Completions. A compatibility layer must map tool and streaming behavior correctly.
Official source ↗A hosted Gemini thinking model for complex and multimodal tasks.
Gemini API formats and thinking controls differ from other providers. Check current pricing and availability directly.
Official source ↗Use one harness with provider-specific adapters. Record failures, retries and tool execution results. For long documents, evaluate evidence retrieval and final-answer grounding separately.
Use the same representative inputs and a written answer rubric. Pin the model version and record the endpoint, thinking configuration, quantization when known, context length, output allowance and concurrency. Preserve native request differences in an adapter rather than silently dropping fields.
Measure full request time, error rate and reported usage. For tools, validate arguments and score the result after execution. For images, preserve resolution and preprocessing. A valid response format alone does not establish a correct answer.
Calculate input cost plus all billed output, including reasoning where the provider counts it. Add retries and discarded answers. Divide the total by the number of results that pass your quality criteria. Keep API usage cost separate from deployment and engineering cost.
Estimate token costs with the API calculator →Enter results from your own evaluation. A task should count once it meets your written quality criteria. Include failed attempts and retries in total spend. These inputs stay in this browser and are not a Flonno benchmark.
Enter all four values. Attempted tasks must be at least one; accepted tasks cannot exceed attempted tasks.
Enter all four values. Attempted tasks must be at least one; accepted tasks cannot exceed attempted tasks.
A source benchmark can inform your shortlist, while your evaluation shows whether a model finishes the work at an acceptable cost. Keep the chosen endpoint, processing terms and output limits in the decision record. Inclusion in the Radar does not mean the model is served by Flonno.
