Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Mistral 8x7B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 48 to 33. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Mistral 8x7B's sharpest advantage is in mathematics, where it averages 68.1 against 42.3. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HumanEval, 55 to 17.
LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking is the reasoning model in the pair, while Mistral 8x7B 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.
Pick Mistral 8x7B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking only becomes the better choice if you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.
