01 — Verdict

Too close to call

It is close. Our weighted score puts them within 3 points (Muse Glimmer 30B 57/100, Solar Pro 4 55/100, Qwen-MT Turbo 40/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: Qwen-MT Turbo on price and Solar Pro 4 for long inputs. The score weighs price 50%, inputs & features 30%, context window 20%. None of the shared benchmarks cover every model here yet, so capability is left out of this verdict.

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.
