Decision reading

Inkling has the higher public score, 67.06 versus 49.27, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap.

8 results are shared. Category rows based on different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.

Which one for your work

Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

  • Agentic work

    Not enough matched evidence

    The category averages use different weighted benchmark sets, so they are directional rather than like-for-like.

What is actually comparable

Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.

1 category uses different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.

Category results, on a stated basis

Each row states whether both averages use the same weighted benchmark set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner in this template.

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.

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.

What each workload costs

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.

If you already use one of these models
Deployment change
The models list different providers, so authentication, endpoint behavior, limits, and feature support may change.
Quality signal
Inkling has the higher public score, 67.06 versus 49.27, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap.
Workload cost
A complete comparable API-rate estimate is not available for both models.
Context tradeoff
Inkling has the larger documented window (1M).

Run the same representative tasks against both endpoints before changing production traffic.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better, Inkling or Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B?

Inkling has the higher public score, 67.06 versus 49.27, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap. That is the clearest overall quality signal in the current public data.

Which is better for coding, Inkling or Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B?

Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B leads the like-for-like coding comparison across 2 shared weighted benchmark rows.

Which is better for agentic tasks, Inkling or Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B?

The current agentic tasks averages use different weighted benchmark sets, so BenchLM does not name a winner from them. Read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.

Which costs less, Inkling or Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B?

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, Inkling or Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B?

Inkling has the larger documented context window: 1M, compared with 262K.
