Computed differences from catalog data

  • The listed context windows are 128K tokens and 128K tokens; the larger is 1× the smaller.
  • On shared numeric benchmark entries, MMLU: Qwen3 235B-A22B (MoE) − ERNIE 4.5 300B-A47B = +15.2 percentage points (93.5% vs 78.3%).
  • The first listed parameter quantities are 235B total (22B active via MoE) and 300B total (47B active via MoE); the larger quantity is 1.28× the smaller. Total and active MoE parameters are not directly equivalent.
  • A release-date gap cannot be calculated from the catalog values (Qwen3 235B-A22B (MoE): April 2025; ERNIE 4.5 300B-A47B: 2025).

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.
