There are not enough shared, protocol-compatible benchmark results to declare a performance leader.
Hy-MT2-1.8B is about 1.7× cheaper on a blended 3:1 input/output basis ($0.07725 vs $0.12925 per 1M tokens).
Choose Hy-MT2-1.8B if…
- • lower blended API cost matters for your workload
Choose Hy-MT2-30B-A3B if…
- • your own prompt tests favor its output; shared comparable evidence does not identify a unique advantage
The benchmark count includes only results measured with a matching benchmark version and protocol. Arena scores are shown separately. Missing, preliminary, and incompatible data is not treated as a controlled win. Published point-score comparisons are labeled separately when protocol details are incomplete. For text-output models, the verdict also compares token pricing and context windows.
