Evidence boundary
This page declares no winner beyond what a named source's numbers say. Where the sources do not overlap, the page says so plainly. Task quality, price, context window, latency, and reliability are not reported by these sources, so no claim about them appears here. Both models still require hands-on evaluation on your own workload.
