gpt-oss-20b or Weaver (alpha): which to pick
Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Pick gpt-oss-20b for output tokens 5.0x cheaper ($0.15 vs $0.75 per million) and a larger context window (131K against 8K tokens).
No benchmark has tested both yet. gpt-oss-20b has results on LiveCodeBench (Vals AI), LiveCodeBench (Artificial Analysis run) and SciCode; Weaver (alpha) has none yet. Compare them on price and context instead.

Benchmark by benchmark
Every board either model has a result on, a category to a fold; bars are each result on a 0 to 100 scale. Only one model is measured on each, so no row names a leader.

What each workload costs
Three fixed token mixes at each model's listed price, so per-token rates become a bill.
Chat turn
1K input + 500 output tokens
gpt-oss-20b costs less

Listed OpenRouter rates, without cache or batch discounts. A workload that does not fit a model's context window would need splitting.
