Which is better for coding?
DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B. It wins the one coding test both models report.
Which is cheaper?
DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B costs $0.20 per million input tokens and $0.20 per million output tokens; DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B costs $0.29 and $0.29. That makes DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B about 31% cheaper for the same work.
How do you compare the two?
We use the 12 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 5 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 7 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
