04 — Questions

Which should you choose?

Which is better: Gemini 4 Argon, GPT-5.6 Sol or Muse Wonder?

Gemini 4 Argon is the better all-round choice, scoring 74/100 against Muse Wonder (68) and GPT-5.6 Sol (66). It leads on capability and price. The score weighs capability 50%, price 25%, inputs & features 15%, context window 10%.

Which is cheaper, Gemini 4 Argon, GPT-5.6 Sol or Muse Wonder?

Gemini 4 Argon is cheaper at $2.00 input / $10.00 output per million tokens (official Google API price). GPT-5.6 Sol costs $4.00 input / $20.00 output per million tokens (official OpenAI API price); Muse Wonder costs $4.00 input / $20.00 output per million tokens (official Meta API price). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $4.00 per million tokens for Gemini 4 Argon versus $8.00 for GPT-5.6 Sol (2× as much) and $8.00 for Muse Wonder (2× as much).

Which scores higher on benchmarks?

Gemini 4 Argon scores higher on the Capabilities Index (ECI): Gemini 4 Argon 166.1 (#7 of 165), GPT-5.6 Sol 162.6 (#12 of 165) and Muse Wonder 161.7 (#13 of 165). The confidence ranges of the top two overlap (163.1–170.3 vs 159.6–166.2), so treat the gap as small. On individual benchmarks: FrontierMath Tiers 1–3 — GPT-5.6 Sol 89.1%, Gemini 4 Argon 86.0%, Muse Wonder 82.1%; OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025 — Gemini 4 Argon 100%, GPT-5.6 Sol 100%, Muse Wonder 99.4%.

Which is better for coding?

There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for Gemini 4 Argon, GPT-5.6 Sol and Muse Wonder yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. On overall capability, Gemini 4 Argon leads, which tends to carry over to coding, but test on your own codebase. All three support tool calling for agent workflows.

Which has the bigger context window?

Their context windows are effectively the same size: Gemini 4 Argon 1,048,576, GPT-5.6 Sol 1,050,000 and Muse Wonder 1,048,576 tokens. Maximum output per response: Gemini 4 Argon up to 65,536, GPT-5.6 Sol up to 128,000, Muse Wonder up to 131,072 tokens.

Which can read images, PDFs, audio or video?

Gemini 4 Argon accepts text, images, PDFs, audio and video; GPT-5.6 Sol accepts text, images and PDFs; Muse Wonder accepts text, images, PDFs, audio and video. Gemini 4 Argon handles the widest range of inputs.

Are any of these open source?

No. Gemini 4 Argon, GPT-5.6 Sol and Muse Wonder are proprietary and only available through APIs and apps.

Which is newer?

Gemini 4 Argon is the newest, released Oct 13, 2026. Muse Wonder came out Oct 12, 2026; GPT-5.6 Sol came out Jul 9, 2026. Knowledge cutoff: Gemini 4 Argon Mar 2026, GPT-5.6 Sol Feb 16, 2026.

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.
