What is actually comparable
Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.
1 GPT-OSS 120B only
1 Shared
5 Hy3 Preview only
3 categories rest on Estimated evidence or different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.
Shape of the matched evidence
Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
A shared-evidence shape is not available.
BenchLM does not draw a radar or infer missing axes when the matched evidence is too sparse.
Category results, on a stated basis
Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.6 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 v5.6) 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.

Questions
Which is better, GPT-OSS 120B or Hy3 Preview?
Hy3 Preview has the higher public score estimate, 45.32 versus 37.72, but the 90% score intervals overlap. The higher estimate is not a decisive winner because the uncertainty ranges overlap.
Which is better for coding, GPT-OSS 120B or Hy3 Preview?
Hy3 Preview scores higher for coding on the public lane, 33.3 to 31. GPT-OSS 120B and Hy3 Preview are scored on Estimated evidence for coding, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like. BenchLM does not name a winner for coding from a directional reading; read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.
Which is better for agentic tasks, GPT-OSS 120B or Hy3 Preview?
Hy3 Preview is not ranked on the public lane for agentic tasks, so no winner is named for agentic tasks.
Which costs less, GPT-OSS 120B or Hy3 Preview?
Both models do not have comparable published API token rates, so this page does not name a universal price winner.
Which has the larger context window, GPT-OSS 120B or Hy3 Preview?
Hy3 Preview has the larger documented context window: 256K, compared with 128K.
