| Summary | ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B-Thinking is Baidu's upgraded lightweight MoE model focused on deeper, higher-quality reasoning. It's tuned to perform strongly on logic, math, science, coding, text generation, and advanced academic benchmarks, delivering top-tier capability with efficient compute usage. | Gemini 4 Argon is Google's flagship reasoning model, built for complex software engineering, deep mathematical and scientific problem solving, and autonomous multi-step agents. Google trained it to keep context across long, multi-step tasks and to turn long documents mixing text, tables, charts and images into a single grounded output. It leads the Vals Index across finance, legal, coding and tax work, and supports long decode of up to 1M output tokens in a single response. |
