Where each one wins

Tests won in each of the four areas where both have results. Each piece is one test, so a longer bar means more evidence; grey means the two scored within a point of each other.

Long documents and following instructions rest on a single test each.

What it costs

Prices per million tokens, roughly 750,000 words. The bars show the cost of a million tokens read plus a million written.

Questions people ask

Which is better, DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B or GPT-4o?

GPT-4o wins two of the four areas where both have results: long documents and following instructions. DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B wins none, but costs 98% less. They are level on coding and reasoning.

Which is better for coding?

Neither. They win 1 coding test each of the 2 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; GPT-4o costs $5.00 and $15.00. That makes DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B about 98% cheaper for the same work.

How do you compare the two?

We use the 17 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 6 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 11 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.
