Which open-weight multimodal system matches your deployment constraints?
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.
An instruction-tuned open-weight model with text and image inputs.
Gemma and Gemini are separate products. Check Gemma license terms and the runtime used for image inputs.
Official source ↗An open-weight mixture-of-experts model with text and image inputs.
Published context limits depend on runtime support and available KV memory. Confirm the accepted image formats and license conditions.
Official source ↗Start with a memory and runtime feasibility check, then measure quality. Published architecture and maximum context cannot substitute for capacity tests on your chosen hardware.
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.
