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

Composer 2 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 62 to 49. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Composer 2's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 61.7 against 45. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is Terminal-Bench 2.0, 40% to 61.7%.

Composer 2 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Claude 3 Haiku 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.
