# Phi-4-multimodal-instruct vs Phi 3.5 MoE Instruct

Put two to four models side by side on the fields that decide a deployment: context, price, region, license, languages, hosting, and what is verified.

Where two models differ, this table shows the difference and stops. LLM EU publishes no winner badge without a documented score for that task, and a missing figure stays missing instead of becoming a zero.

## When to use it

### [Phi-4-multimodal-instruct](/en/models/phi-4-multimodal-instruct/)

#### Strengths

- text, image and speech input at 5.6B parameters
- 128K-token context for document batches
- MIT licence
- 23 declared languages including most large EU languages

#### Limits

- modality-specific quality is below dedicated single-modality models
- English-centric training data
- no evaluation has been run by LLM EU

#### Tasks

[Vision](/en/tasks/vision/), [Summarisation](/en/tasks/summarization/), [Multilingual support](/en/tasks/multilingual-support/), [Low cost](/en/tasks/cheap/)

### [Phi 3.5 MoE Instruct](/en/models/phi-3-5-moe-instruct/)

#### Strengths

- open weights are published on Hugging Face and can be downloaded without a vendor agreement
- mit licence, so commercial self-hosting is permitted without a separate agreement
- instruction-tuned checkpoint with a chat template in the repository

#### Limits

- catalogue only %E2%80%94 LLM EU does not run this model, and nothing on this card implies an LLM EU endpoint
- no evaluation has been run by LLM EU
- the published configuration records no context window, so the card carries none
- at 41.9B parameters, self-hosting needs a high-memory accelerator
