Scores updated · 13 tests both models report · How we compare
Where each one wins
Tests won in each of the two 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.
Coding rests on a single test.
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.
Jamba 1.5 Mini costs 47% less for the same work.
The biggest differences
The tests each model wins by the widest margin, up to three each. Scores are out of 100.

DeepSeek-V3 wins all two areas where both have results: coding and reasoning. Jamba 1.5 Mini wins none, but costs 47% less.
Which is better for coding?
DeepSeek-V3. It wins the one coding test both models report.
Which is cheaper?
DeepSeek-V3 costs $0.24 per million input tokens and $0.90 per million output tokens; Jamba 1.5 Mini costs $0.20 and $0.40. That makes Jamba 1.5 Mini about 47% cheaper for the same work.
How do you compare the two?
We use the 13 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 3 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 10 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.
