Merge says Merge Fusion beats every model it is built from across the board on its DRACO benchmark.
The chart compares several configurations, including Merge Fusion Premium (75.7), Merge Fusion Fable + Sol (74.7), Merge Fusion GPT-5.6 family (73.2), and a cheaper Open panel setup (69.4). It also shows the cost/latency tradeoff: the open panel costs about $0.15 per task, while the premium setup is about $1.75 per task. The post frames the result as evidence that model fusion can outperform its constituent frontier models at multiple price points.
