Side-by-side benchmark comparison across knowledge, coding, math, and reasoning.
Gemini 1.5 Pro is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 55 to 51. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
o1 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 200K for o1.
Pick Gemini 1.5 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. o1 only becomes the better choice if knowledge is the priority or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.
