1/8 categoriesGPT-5.3 Codex· Holo3-35B-A3B
Pick GPT-5.3 Codex if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Holo3-35B-A3B only becomes the better choice if agentic is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
GPT-5.3 Codex is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 85 to 78. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
GPT-5.3 Codex is also the more expensive model on tokens at $2.50 input / $10.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.25 input / $1.80 output per 1M tokens for Holo3-35B-A3B. That is roughly 5.6x on output cost alone. GPT-5.3 Codex is the reasoning model in the pair, while Holo3-35B-A3B 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 gives you the larger context window at 400K, compared with 64K for Holo3-35B-A3B.
BenchLM keeps the benchmark table and the operator tradeoffs on the same page so a better score does not hide a materially slower, pricier, or smaller-context model.
Runtime metrics show N/A when BenchLM does not have a sourced snapshot for that exact model. The scoring rules and freshness policy are documented on the methodology page.
