Llama 3.3 70B Instruct or Moondream 3.1: which to pick
Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Pick Llama 3.3 70B Instruct for output tokens 3.5x cheaper ($0.72 vs $2.50 per million) and a larger context window (131K against 32K tokens).
No benchmark has tested both yet. Llama 3.3 70B Instruct has results on AA Coding Index, LiveCodeBench (Artificial Analysis run) and Terminal-Bench Hard (Artificial Analysis run); Moondream 3.1 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.
