Pick GPT-5.4 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Gemini 3 Flash 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.
Confidence note. This is a partial-evidence comparison with 3 shared benchmark results across 2 evidence categories; 1 of 8 categories currently have scoreable aggregates for both models. Treat the verdict as directional until coverage is more balanced.
Why this result
GPT-5.4 Pro has the cleaner BenchAlign overall profile here, landing at 60.05 versus 59.66. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.
GPT-5.4 Pro's sharpest advantage is in mathematics, where it averages 46.9 against 27.8. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is FrontierMath v2 (Tier 4), 4.167% to 37.500%.
GPT-5.4 Pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $30.00 input / $180.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.50 input / $3.00 output per 1M tokens for Gemini 3 Flash. That is roughly 60.0x on output cost alone. GPT-5.4 Pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while Gemini 3 Flash 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 Flash.
