Gemini 3.7 Flash
Gemini 3.7 Flash leads on the public coding lane, 60.3 to 56, with Supported evidence for both models, although the 90% intervals overlap.
Updated September 27, 2026. Rank says Gemini 3.7 Flash is ahead. Price, access, and your workload can each overturn that. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty.

Gemini 3.7 Flash has the higher public score estimate, 67.66 versus 64.99, but the 90% score intervals overlap. Treat that as a lead, not a settled winner. 7 results are shared. Category rows resting on Estimated evidence or different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.
Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

Choose a job from the LLM Selector's task catalog to see the category row it rests on, under the same basis rules as the table below. A directional row stays directional; choosing a job never creates a winner.
The same task catalog as the LLM Selector. Each job names the evidence surface it rests on; nothing here adds a new score.
Like-for-like · BenchAlign v5.7
Gemini 3.7 Flash leads the like-for-like coding row, although the 90% intervals overlap.
Coding scores combine specific tasks and setups. Match the editor, harness, and effort to your workflow.
Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.
Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.
MMLU-Pro (Vals)Knowledge
Normalized gap 1.8Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.7 lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign v5.7) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the provisional lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.
Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.

Gemini 3.7 Flash has the higher public score estimate, 67.66 versus 64.99, but the 90% score intervals overlap. The higher estimate is not a decisive winner because the uncertainty ranges overlap.
Gemini 3.7 Flash leads the public coding lane, 60.3 to 56, with Supported evidence for both models, although the 90% intervals overlap.
Muse Spark 1.2 leads the public agentic tasks lane, 59.5 to 58.6, with Supported evidence for both models, although the 90% intervals overlap.
For the stated presets, chat costs $0.00263 on Gemini 3.7 Flash and $0.00337 on Muse Spark 1.2; repository review costs $0.04875 and $0.07525; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.0675 and $0.0975. Costs use the listed standard API rates.
Both models list the same context window, 1M.
