Treat this as a split decision. Celeris-1 makes more sense if you want the cheaper token bill or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model; GPT-5.2 is the better fit if knowledge is the priority or you need the larger 400K context window.
Confidence note. This is a partial-evidence comparison with 0 shared benchmark results across 0 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
Celeris-1 and GPT-5.2 finish on the same BenchAlign overall score, so this is less about a single winner and more about where the edge shows up. The BenchAlign headline says tie; the benchmark table is where the real choice happens.
GPT-5.2 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $1.75 input / $14.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $2.00 input / $6.00 output per 1M tokens for Celeris-1. That is roughly 2.3x on output cost alone. GPT-5.2 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Celeris-1 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. GPT-5.2 gives you the larger context window at 400K, compared with 8K for Celeris-1.
