Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Aion-2.0 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 58 to 52. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Aion-2.0's sharpest advantage is in reasoning, where it averages 70.3 against 49.4. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Pro, 37 to 65. GPT-4o mini does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Aion-2.0 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.80 input / $1.60 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.15 input / $0.60 output per 1M tokens for GPT-4o mini. That is roughly 2.7x on output cost alone.
Pick Aion-2.0 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. GPT-4o mini only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
