Why this result
Inkling is clearly ahead on the provisional aggregate, 72 to 51. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Exaone 4.0 32B is the reasoning model in the pair, while Inkling 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. Inkling gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 128K for Exaone 4.0 32B.
