Holo3-35B-A3B· Qwen3.5-27B

Quick Verdict

Pick Holo3-35B-A3B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Qwen3.5-27B only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you need the larger 262K context window.

Holo3-35B-A3B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 78 to 71. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Holo3-35B-A3B's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 77.8 against 51.6. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is OSWorld-Verified, 77.8% to 56.2%.

Holo3-35B-A3B is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.25 input / $1.80 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Qwen3.5-27B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. Qwen3.5-27B 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. Qwen3.5-27B gives you the larger context window at 262K, compared with 64K for Holo3-35B-A3B.

Decision framing

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.
