Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 87 to 45. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 82.3 against 15.8. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Verified, 80 to 9.
GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark is the reasoning model in the pair, while Llama 3 70B 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. GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 128K for Llama 3 70B.
Pick GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Llama 3 70B only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
