Computed differences from catalog data
- The listed context windows are 8K tokens and 4K tokens; the larger is 2× the smaller.
- On shared numeric benchmark entries, Function calling accuracy: Hermes 2 Pro Llama3 8B − Gorilla OpenFunctions v2 = +4.9 percentage points (95%+ vs 90.1%).
- The first listed parameter quantities are 8B and 7B; the larger quantity is 1.14× the smaller. Total and active MoE parameters are not directly equivalent.
- A release-date gap cannot be calculated from the catalog values (Hermes 2 Pro Llama3 8B: June 2024; Gorilla OpenFunctions v2: 2024).
Cost example: 1M input and 1M output tokens
A cost example for 1M input plus 1M output tokens cannot be calculated reliably because separate numeric input and output rates are not listed for both models.
