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 53. 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 79. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is OpenBookQA, 75 to 58. Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite does hit back in multimodal & grounded, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Aion-2.0 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.80 input / $1.60 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.10 input / $0.40 output per 1M tokens for Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite. That is roughly 4.0x on output cost alone. Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 128K for Aion-2.0.
Pick Aion-2.0 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite only becomes the better choice if multimodal & grounded is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
