Quick Verdict

Pick Qwen3.5-122B-A10B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Llama 4 Scout only becomes the better choice if you need the larger 10M context window or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.

Qwen3.5-122B-A10B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 71 to 43. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Qwen3.5-122B-A10B's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 76.3 against 12.8. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is LiveCodeBench, 11% to 78.9%.

Qwen3.5-122B-A10B is the reasoning model in the pair, while Llama 4 Scout 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. Llama 4 Scout gives you the larger context window at 10M, compared with 262K for Qwen3.5-122B-A10B.

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.
