Questions people ask

Which is better, Llama 3 Instruct 8B or Phi 3.5 Mini Instruct?

Neither wins more tests than the other in any of the one area where both have results.

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.
