Qwen 3.8 Flash Next vs 
Mistral Large 4
Both are SOTA right now. Each row below is one board’s call on the two, and the marked figure is the one that board places higher. No row is added to another, so there is no overall winner: the boards measure different things, and where they split, that is the finding.

Each rank is the board’s own: the rank it publishes, or its place in its own order where it publishes none. The bar is how much of that board the model is ahead of. Scores from different boards cannot be compared.
