Pick Muse Spark 1.1 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Gemini 3.1 Pro only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.

Confidence note. This is a partial-evidence comparison with 21 shared benchmark results across 5 evidence categories; 1 of 8 categories currently have scoreable aggregates for both models. Treat the verdict as directional until coverage is more balanced.

Why this result

Muse Spark 1.1 is clearly ahead on the BenchAlign aggregate, 77.44 to 55.3. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Muse Spark 1.1's sharpest advantage is in multimodal & grounded, where it averages 88.4 against 82.6. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is CharXiv, 80.2% to 88.4%.

Muse Spark 1.1 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Gemini 3.1 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.
