Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
GPT-4.1 finishes one point ahead overall, 26 to 25. That is enough to call, but not enough to treat as a blowout. This matchup comes down to a few meaningful edges rather than one model dominating the board.
GPT-4.1's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 54.6 against 42. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Verified, 42% to 54.6%. DeepSeek V3 does hit back in mathematics, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
GPT-4.1 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $2.00 input / $8.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.27 input / $1.10 output per 1M tokens for DeepSeek V3. That is roughly 7.3x on output cost alone. GPT-4.1 gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 128K for DeepSeek V3.
Pick GPT-4.1 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. DeepSeek V3 only becomes the better choice if mathematics is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
