Questions people ask
Which is better, MiniMax Text 01 or Qwen2.5 Instruct 72B?
MiniMax Text 01 wins the one area where both have results: reasoning. Qwen2.5 Instruct 72B wins none.
How do you compare the two?
We use the 24 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 23 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.
