Why this result

Qwen3 235B 2507 is clearly ahead on the BenchAlign aggregate, 56.02 to 45.94. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

o1-pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $150.00 input / $600.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Qwen3 235B 2507. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. o1-pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while Qwen3 235B 2507 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. o1-pro gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 128K for Qwen3 235B 2507.
