Which should you choose?
Which is better: Devstral Medium, o3-deep-research or Morph V3 Fast?
o3-deep-research is the better all-round choice, scoring 49/100 against Devstral Medium (25) and Morph V3 Fast (15). It leads on inputs & features. Morph V3 Fast wins on context window. 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 cheaper, Devstral Medium, o3-deep-research or Morph V3 Fast?
Morph V3 Fast is cheaper at $0.80 input / $1.20 output per million tokens (median across 5 API providers). o3-deep-research costs $9.00 input / $36.00 output per million tokens (median across 1 API provider). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $0.90 per million tokens for Morph V3 Fast versus $15.75 for o3-deep-research (18× as much). Devstral Medium has no published per-token price.
Which scores higher on benchmarks?
There is no independent benchmark that covers all three models yet. Devstral Medium has not been scored yet, o3-deep-research has not been scored yet and Morph V3 Fast has not been scored yet.
Which is better for coding?
There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for Devstral Medium, o3-deep-research and Morph V3 Fast yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. Test both on a sample of your own tasks. Note that Morph V3 Fast does not support tool calling, which most coding agents need.
Which has the bigger context window?

Which can read images, PDFs, audio or video?
Devstral Medium accepts text; o3-deep-research accepts text and images; Morph V3 Fast accepts text. o3-deep-research handles the widest range of inputs.
Are any of these open source?
No. Devstral Medium, o3-deep-research and Morph V3 Fast are proprietary and only available through APIs and apps.
Which is newer?
Devstral Medium is the newest, released Jul 10, 2025. Morph V3 Fast came out Jul 7, 2025; o3-deep-research came out Jun 26, 2025. Knowledge cutoff: Devstral Medium May 2025, o3-deep-research May 2024.
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 Nov 2, 2026.
