Which one for your work
Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.
No workload recommendation clears the current evidence threshold.
Use the matched evidence, workload costs, and sourced specifications below instead of treating a point score as a universal answer.

What is actually comparable
Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.

13 Qwen3.5-27B only
3 categories rest on Estimated evidence or different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.
Shape of the matched evidence
Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.

Category results, on a stated basis
Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.8 lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign v5.8) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the provisional lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.

What each workload costs
Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.

Questions
Which is better, Ornith-1.5-397B or Qwen3.5-27B?
Ornith-1.5-397B has the higher public point estimate, 62.72 versus 48.33. Their conditional score ranges overlap. These ranges do not establish rank confidence. The page therefore keeps the decision tied to the specific documented workload.
Which is better for coding, Ornith-1.5-397B or Qwen3.5-27B?
Ornith-1.5-397B scores higher for coding on the public lane, 54.7 to 34.9. Ornith-1.5-397B and Qwen3.5-27B are scored on Estimated evidence for coding, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like. BenchLM does not name a winner for coding from a directional reading; read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.
Which is better for agentic tasks, Ornith-1.5-397B or Qwen3.5-27B?
Ornith-1.5-397B scores higher for agentic tasks on the public lane, 56.8 to 35.1. Ornith-1.5-397B and Qwen3.5-27B are scored on Estimated evidence for agentic tasks, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like. BenchLM does not name a winner for agentic tasks from a directional reading; read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.
Which costs less, Ornith-1.5-397B or Qwen3.5-27B?
Both models do not have comparable published API token rates, so this page does not name a universal price winner.
Which has the larger context window, Ornith-1.5-397B or Qwen3.5-27B?
Both models list the same context window, 262K.
