Too close to call
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within a point (o3-pro 55/100, Claude Opus 4.1 55/100, Aya Vision 32B 15/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: Claude Opus 4.1 on price. The score weighs inputs & features 60%, context window 40%. None of the shared benchmarks cover every model here yet, so capability is left out of this verdict.

Which is newer?
Claude Opus 4.1 is the newest, released Aug 5, 2025. o3-pro came out Jun 10, 2025; Aya Vision 32B came out Mar 4, 2025. Knowledge cutoff: o3-pro May 2024, Claude Opus 4.1 Mar 31, 2025.
How do you decide the winner?
Each model gets a 0–100 score on capability (50%, independent benchmark results); price (25%, blended price per million tokens (3 input : 1 output), log scale); inputs & features (15%, image, PDF, audio and video input, tool calling, structured output and reasoning); context window (10%, maximum tokens per request, log scale). Dimensions missing for any model are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so every model is judged on the same evidence. Specs and prices come from public model listings and the labs’ own API pages; capability scores come from independent benchmark runs. Data updated Oct 4, 2026.
