Head-to-head
gemma4:26b vs mistral-small:24b
Both models answered the same one-shot tasks under identical rules — no retries, answers published unedited. Two separate axes, never blended: does the code actually run, and how do blind-scored text answers hold up against a written gold answer.
| Model | Runnable sims | Blind text avg | Failure modes |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemma4:26b | 0% (0/2) | 9.67 (36 scored) | ERR 1 · BLANK 1 |
| mistral-small:24b | 32% (30/95) | 8.26 (38 scored) | ERR 29 · STAT 12 · BLANK 9 · HANG 7 · DNF 8 |
