DeepSeek-V3 is the stronger all-rounder.
Scores updated · 14 tests both models report · How we compare
Where each one wins
Tests won in each of the one area 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.
Reasoning 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.
The biggest differences
The tests each model wins by the widest margin, up to three each. Scores are out of 100.

Every test, side by side
All 14 tests both models report. The winning score is in its model's colour; marks a score checked independently.

Questions people ask
Which is better, DeepSeek-V3 or Phi 3.5 MoE Instruct?
DeepSeek-V3 wins the one area where both have results: reasoning. Phi 3.5 MoE Instruct wins none.
How do you compare the two?
We use the 14 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 1 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 13 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.
