Why this result

Claude Mythos 5 is clearly ahead on the BenchAlign aggregate, 83.93 to 67.73. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Claude Mythos 5's sharpest advantage is in mathematics, where it averages 97.6 against 32.9. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is CharXiv, 93.5% to 81.4%.

Claude Mythos 5 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $10.00 input / $50.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $2.00 input / $12.00 output per 1M tokens for Gemini 3 Pro. That is roughly 4.2x on output cost alone. Claude Mythos 5 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Gemini 3 Pro is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use. Gemini 3 Pro gives you the larger context window at 2M, compared with 1M+ for Claude Mythos 5.
