Questions people ask
Which is better, Qwen2.5 VL 32B Instruct or Qwen3 VL 235B A22B Reasoning?
Qwen3 VL 235B A22B Reasoning wins all three areas where both have results: agents, reasoning and images and charts. Qwen2.5 VL 32B Instruct wins none.
How do you compare the two?
We use the 17 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 8 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 9 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.
