DeepSeek-R1· Holo3-122B-A10B

Quick Verdict

Pick Holo3-122B-A10B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. DeepSeek-R1 only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you need the larger 128K context window.

Holo3-122B-A10B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 79 to 45. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Holo3-122B-A10B's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 78.9 against 44.5. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is OSWorld-Verified, 44% to 78.8%.

Holo3-122B-A10B is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.40 input / $3.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.55 input / $2.19 output per 1M tokens for DeepSeek-R1. DeepSeek-R1 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Holo3-122B-A10B 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. DeepSeek-R1 gives you the larger context window at 128K, compared with 64K for Holo3-122B-A10B.

Decision framing

BenchLM keeps the benchmark table and the operator tradeoffs on the same page so a better score does not hide a materially slower, pricier, or smaller-context model.

Runtime metrics show N/A when BenchLM does not have a sourced snapshot for that exact model. The scoring rules and freshness policy are documented on the methodology page.
