Llama 4 Scout or Moondream 3.1: which to pick
Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Pick Llama 4 Scout for output tokens 5.0x cheaper ($0.50 vs $2.50 per million) and a larger context window (1.31M against 32K tokens).
No benchmark has tested both yet. Llama 4 Scout has results on SWE-bench Verified, AA Coding Index and LiveCodeBench (Vals AI); 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.
