## Gemma 4 31B is both better and cheaper.

It scores **+5.4** higher and costs **68% less** ($0.160/M against $0.500/M) on this workload — and it does everything this model does.

[DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731](/models/deepseek__deepseek-v4-flash-0731) is cheaper still (79% less) but drops no image, video input.

| Agentic | 11.8 |
| LMArena Elo | 1395.6 default |

Sources are listed separately rather than averaged. Across the 62 models both have scored they correlate at r = 0.806 — close agreement overall, but four models rank very differently between them, and a blended score would hide exactly those.
