Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Aion-2.0 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 58 to 43. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Aion-2.0's sharpest advantage is in instruction following, where it averages 93 against 69. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is OpenBookQA, 75 to 39.
DeepSeek-R1 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.55 input / $2.19 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.80 input / $1.60 output per 1M tokens for Aion-2.0. DeepSeek-R1 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Aion-2.0 is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use.
Pick Aion-2.0 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. DeepSeek-R1 only becomes the better choice if you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.
