Too close to call
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within 2 points (Jamba Mini 55/100, Solar Pro 3 53/100, Sarvam 105B 52/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: Solar Pro 3 on price and Jamba Mini 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.

Sarvam 105B is the newest, released Feb 18, 2026. Solar Pro 3 came out Jan 26, 2026; Jamba Mini came out Jan 8, 2026. Knowledge cutoff: Solar Pro 3 Jul 2025, Jamba Mini Aug 22, 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.
