Llama 3.1 405B vs Aion-2.0

Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.

Llama 3.1 405B finishes one point ahead overall, 59 to 58. That is enough to call, but not enough to treat as a blowout. This matchup comes down to a few meaningful edges rather than one model dominating the board.

Llama 3.1 405B's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 40.6 against 33.2. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Verified, 46 to 35. Aion-2.0 does hit back in instruction following, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

Quick Verdict

Pick Llama 3.1 405B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Aion-2.0 only becomes the better choice if instruction following is the priority.
