Winner · 7/8 categorieso4-mini (high)· Qwen3.6 Plus
Pick Qwen3.6 Plus if you want the stronger benchmark profile. o4-mini (high) only becomes the better choice if its workflow or ecosystem matters more than the raw scoreboard.
Qwen3.6 Plus is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 69 to 58. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Qwen3.6 Plus's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 64.9 against 44.9. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HLE, 13% to 28.8%.
Qwen3.6 Plus gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 200K for o4-mini (high).
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.
