Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Qwen3.5 397B (Reasoning) is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 75 to 55. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Qwen3.5 397B (Reasoning)'s sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 62.3 against 33. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Pro, 65 to 34.
Qwen3.5 397B (Reasoning) is the reasoning model in the pair, while Ministral 3 14B 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 Qwen3.5 397B (Reasoning) if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Ministral 3 14B only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
