Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Gemini 1.5 Pro is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 52 to 33. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Gemini 1.5 Pro's sharpest advantage is in multimodal & grounded, where it averages 74.1 against 32.4. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MMMU-Pro, 75 to 27.
LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking is the reasoning model in the pair, while Gemini 1.5 Pro 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. Gemini 1.5 Pro gives you the larger context window at 2M, compared with 32K for LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking.
Pick Gemini 1.5 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking only becomes the better choice if you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.
