Decision reading

Gemini 2.5 Pro has the higher public score estimate, 50.17 versus 35.7, but the 90% score intervals overlap. Treat that as a lead, not a settled winner. 1 results are shared. Category rows resting on Estimated evidence or different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.

Which one for your work

Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

  • Long documents

    Prompts that approach the documented context limit

    Gemini 2.5 Pro

    Gemini 2.5 Pro has the larger documented context window.

    Confidence: documented
  • Chat turn cost

    1K fresh input + 500 output tokens

    Gemini 2.5 Pro

    Gemini 2.5 Pro has the lower estimated token cost for this stated workload. Costs use the listed standard API rates.

  • Repository review cost

    50K fresh input + 3K output tokens

    Gemini 2.5 Pro

    Gemini 2.5 Pro has the lower estimated token cost for this stated workload. Costs use the listed standard API rates.

    Confidence: listed-rates
  • Coding work

    Code generation, repair, and software-engineering tasks

    Not enough matched evidence

    O1-pro is not ranked on the public lane for coding, so no winner is named for coding.

    Confidence: limited
  • Agentic work

    Tool use, computer use, and multi-step task completion

    Not enough matched evidence

    O1-pro is not ranked on the public lane for agentic, so no winner is named for agentic.

    Confidence: limited
  • Cache-heavy agent loop cost

    200K cached + 20K fresh input + 10K output tokens

    Not enough matched evidence

    The page does not recommend a cost winner because at least one model cannot fit the stated workload in one request. o1-pro does not fit this workload in one request. o1-pro has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.

    Confidence: rate-fallback

Which one for a specific job

Choose a job from the LLM Selector's task catalog to see the category row it rests on, under the same basis rules as the table below. A directional row stays directional; choosing a job never creates a winner.

The same task catalog as the LLM Selector. Each job names the evidence surface it rests on; nothing here adds a new score.

Not comparable · BenchAlign v5.7

The coding row is not comparable on the public lane: at least one model is not measured or not ranked there.

Coding scores combine specific tasks and setups. Match the editor, harness, and effort to your workflow.

Same basis rules as the category table below

What is actually comparable

Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.

Shape of the matched evidence

Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.

Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.

Bars run 0–100 on each benchmark’s normalized display scale

Category results, on a stated basis

Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.7 lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign v5.7) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the provisional lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.

What each workload costs

Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.

Questions

Which is better, Gemini 2.5 Pro or o1-pro?

Gemini 2.5 Pro has the higher public score estimate, 50.17 versus 35.7, but the 90% score intervals overlap. The higher estimate is not a decisive winner because the uncertainty ranges overlap.

Which is better for coding, Gemini 2.5 Pro or o1-pro?

O1-pro is not ranked on the public lane for coding, so no winner is named for coding.

Which is better for agentic tasks, Gemini 2.5 Pro or o1-pro?

O1-pro is not ranked on the public lane for agentic tasks, so no winner is named for agentic tasks.

Which costs less, Gemini 2.5 Pro or o1-pro?

For the stated presets, chat costs $0.00625 on Gemini 2.5 Pro and $0.45 on o1-pro; repository review costs $0.0925 and $9.30; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.15 and $39.00. o1-pro does not fit this workload in one request. o1-pro has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.

Which has the larger context window, Gemini 2.5 Pro or o1-pro?

Gemini 2.5 Pro has the larger documented context window: 1M, compared with 200K.
