Muse Spark 1.3
Muse Spark 1.3 has the lower estimated token cost for this stated workload. Costs use the listed standard API rates.
Updated November 13, 2026. We do not rank this pair: at least one has no public score. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty.
At least one model is not scored in the current public ranking lane, so the page does not name an overall quality winner. 12 results are shared. Category rows resting on Estimated evidence or different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.

Code generation, repair, and software-engineering tasks
Not enough matched evidence
Muse Spark 1.3 is not ranked on the public lane for coding, so no winner is named for coding.
Tool use, computer use, and multi-step task completion
Not enough matched evidence
Muse Spark 1.3 is not ranked on the public lane for agentic, so no winner is named for agentic.

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.
Not comparable · BenchAlign v5.8
The coding row is not comparable on the public lane: at least one model is not measured or not ranked there.
Coding scores combine specific tasks and setups. Match the editor, harness, and effort to your workflow.
The LLM Selector reads what you need a model for and returns a shortlist, ranked in the same order the job pages publish.
We keep what you type here, drafts included, for 180 days, and after that only the job and requirements read from it. Nothing is tied to your IP address or account. Leave out names and other personal details. Privacy
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.

Normalized gap 1.9Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.8 lane for agentic, coding, reasoning, multimodal, 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, reasoning, multimodal, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign v5.8) 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.

Gray dots are the other priced models. The dark step line is the efficiency frontier: for a model under it, another model costs no more and scores at least as high.

At least one model is not scored in the current public ranking lane, so the page does not name an overall quality winner. The page therefore keeps the decision tied to the specific documented workload.
Muse Spark 1.3 is not ranked on the public lane for coding, so no winner is named for coding.
Muse Spark 1.3 is not ranked on the public lane for agentic tasks, so no winner is named for agentic tasks.
For the stated presets, chat costs $0.007 on Gemini 4 Argon and $0.00337 on Muse Spark 1.3; repository review costs $0.13 and $0.07525; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.16 and $0.0975. Costs use the listed standard API rates.
Both models list the same context window, 1M.
