Which should you choose?
Which is better: Claude Haiku 3.5, Llama-3.2-1B or Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct?
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within 3 points (Claude Haiku 3.5 30/100, Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct 28/100, Llama-3.2-1B 11/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct for raw capability, Llama-3.2-1B on price and Claude Haiku 3.5 for long inputs. The score weighs capability 67%, inputs & features 20%, context window 13%. Capability uses the average of shared benchmarks (GPQA Diamond and OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025), because Llama-3.2-1B has no Capabilities Index score yet.
Which is cheaper, Claude Haiku 3.5, Llama-3.2-1B or Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct?
Llama-3.2-1B is cheaper at $0.027 input / $0.201 output per million tokens (median across 6 API providers). Claude Haiku 3.5 costs $0.80 input / $4.00 output per million tokens (median across 3 API providers). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $0.07 per million tokens for Llama-3.2-1B versus $1.60 for Claude Haiku 3.5 (23× as much). Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct has no published per-token price.
Which scores higher on benchmarks?
Not every model here has a Capabilities Index score, so we compare the average of shared benchmarks (GPQA Diamond and OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025): Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct 21.8%, Claude Haiku 3.5 21.2% and Llama-3.2-1B 12.2%. On individual benchmarks: GPQA Diamond — Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct 41.0%, Claude Haiku 3.5 38.1%, Llama-3.2-1B 23.9%; OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025 — Claude Haiku 3.5 4.3%, Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct 2.6%, Llama-3.2-1B 0.6%.
Which is better for coding?
There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for Claude Haiku 3.5, Llama-3.2-1B and Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. On overall capability, Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct leads, which tends to carry over to coding, but test on your own codebase. Note that Llama-3.2-1B does not support tool calling, which most coding agents need.
Which has the bigger context window?
Claude Haiku 3.5 has the largest context window at 200,000 tokens, against 131,072 for Llama-3.2-1B and 128,000 for Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct. Maximum output per response: Claude Haiku 3.5 up to 8,192, Llama-3.2-1B up to 8,192, Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct up to 4,096 tokens.
Which can read images, PDFs, audio or video?
Claude Haiku 3.5 accepts text, images and PDFs; Llama-3.2-1B accepts text; Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct accepts text and images. Claude Haiku 3.5 handles the widest range of inputs.
Are any of these open source?
Llama-3.2-1B and Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct publishes its weights (Llama 3.2 Community License) and can be self-hosted; Claude Haiku 3.5 is proprietary.
Which is newer?
Claude Haiku 3.5 is the newest, released Oct 22, 2024. Llama-3.2-1B came out Sep 25, 2024; Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct came out Sep 25, 2024. Knowledge cutoff: Claude Haiku 3.5 Jul 31, 2024, Llama-3.2-1B Dec 2023, Llama-3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct Dec 2023.
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.
