Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Exaone 4.0 32B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 83 to 76. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Exaone 4.0 32B's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 81.8 against 72.5. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is AIME 2025, 98% to 85.3%. Claude Sonnet 4.6 does hit back in mathematics, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Exaone 4.0 32B is the reasoning model in the pair, while Claude Sonnet 4.6 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. Claude Sonnet 4.6 gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 128K for Exaone 4.0 32B.
Pick Exaone 4.0 32B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Claude Sonnet 4.6 only becomes the better choice if mathematics is the priority or you need the larger 200K context window.
