GPT-5.4 Pro vs Gemini 3.1 Pro

Side-by-side benchmark comparison across knowledge, coding, math, and reasoning.

GPT-5.4 Pro is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 94 to 89. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GPT-5.4 Pro's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 89 against 79. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is LiveCodeBench, 86 to 71.

GPT-5.4 Pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $30.00 input / $180.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $1.25 input / $5.00 output per 1M tokens for Gemini 3.1 Pro. That is roughly 36.0x on output cost alone. GPT-5.4 Pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while Gemini 3.1 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. GPT-5.4 Pro gives you the larger context window at 1.05M, compared with 1M for Gemini 3.1 Pro.

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-5.4 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Gemini 3.1 Pro only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
