Pick Interfaze Beta if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite only becomes the better choice if multimodal & grounded is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
Interfaze Beta is clearly ahead on the provisional aggregate, 76 to 48. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Interfaze Beta is also the more expensive model on tokens at $1.50 input / $3.50 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.25 input / $1.50 output per 1M tokens for Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite. That is roughly 2.3x on output cost alone. Interfaze Beta is the reasoning model in the pair, while Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite 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.
Interfaze Beta is ahead on BenchLM's provisional leaderboard, 76 to 48.
Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite has the edge for multimodal and grounded tasks in this comparison, averaging 73.2 versus 71.1. Interfaze Beta stays close enough that the answer can still flip depending on your workload.
