Questions people ask

Which is better, GPT-4o or Qwen2.5 VL 72B?

Qwen2.5 VL 72B wins all two areas where both have results: agents and images and charts. GPT-4o wins none.

How do you compare the two?

We use the 22 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 16 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.
