Pick Muse Spark if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Gemini 2.5 Pro only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you need the larger 1M context window.
Muse Spark is clearly ahead on the provisional aggregate, 82 to 64. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Muse Spark's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 50.4 against 40.8. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HLE, 18.8% to 50.4%. Gemini 2.5 Pro does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Muse Spark is the reasoning model in the pair, while Gemini 2.5 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 2.5 Pro gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 262K for Muse Spark.
Muse Spark is ahead on BenchLM's provisional leaderboard, 82 to 64. The biggest single separator in this matchup is HLE, where the scores are 18.8% and 50.4%.
