Why this result

Claude Opus 4.8 is clearly ahead on the provisional aggregate, 85 to 71. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Claude Opus 4.8 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $5.00 input / $25.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.40 input / $3.00 output per 1M tokens for Holo3-122B-A10B. That is roughly 8.3x on output cost alone. Claude Opus 4.8 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Holo3-122B-A10B is not.
