Deprecated for buying. Kept because “4o vs sonnet” is still a typed query.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall, Command A or GPT-4o?
Command A has the higher preference Elo in our latest snapshot (1,344). “Better” still depends on coding, price, and latency — see the table.
Which is better at coding, Command A or GPT-4o?
GPT-4o leads SWE-bench at 54.8% vs 42.6%. SWE-bench is one harness, not your repo.
Which is cheaper to run in production?
Command A output tokens are $10/1M versus $10/1M. Input prices and retry rates still move the real bill.
Which is faster, Command A or GPT-4o?
Command A has the lower time-to-first-token (175 ms vs 180 ms). Tokens/sec is a separate column if you care about long completions.
Which has the larger context window?
Command A accepts 256k tokens versus 128k.
Can I self-host either model?
Neither model is marked open-weights here. You are comparing hosted APIs.
Are these scores from CompareLLM’s own evals?
No. V1 aggregates public leaderboards (and optional first-party latency pings). Each cell names its source and date. Read /methodology.
What does preference Elo mean on this page?
Preference Elo is a crowd vote from LMArena / Arena. People see two hidden answers and pick the one they like more. The model that wins more often gets a higher Elo. That means people preferred it — not that it passed a school test. It is not SWE-bench, not accuracy, and not a number we invent. Command A and GPT-4o Elo cells are dated snapshots from the named source — we do not compute Arena ourselves.
