A model benchmark shows Muse Spark far ahead of Grok-4.20 on score vs cost
cis_female · x · 2026-07-21
The attached comparison table ranks several models by score and first-call cost.
Top of the table is Claude Fable 5 at 4.30, followed by Claude Opus 4.8 at 4.06. Meta’s Muse Spark 1.1 scores 3.88 at a much lower listed cost, while GLM-5.2, GPT-5.6 variants, Gemini 3.1 Pro, DeepSeek V4 Pro, Qwen 3.7 Plus, Grok-4.20, and MiniMax M3 trail behind.
The poster’s point is that the cheap-new-model narrative does not hold uniformly: some low-cost models perform very well, but others do not.
