Decision reading
GPT-5.4 Pro has the higher public score estimate, 70.67 versus 55.5, but the 90% score intervals overlap. Treat that as a lead, not a settled winner. 2 results are shared. Category rows resting on Estimated evidence or different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.

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.

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 3 Flash or GPT-5.4 Pro?
GPT-5.4 Pro has the higher public score estimate, 70.67 versus 55.5, 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 3 Flash or GPT-5.4 Pro?
GPT-5.4 Pro is not ranked on the public lane for coding, so no winner is named for coding.
Which is better for agentic tasks, Gemini 3 Flash or GPT-5.4 Pro?
GPT-5.4 Pro is not ranked on the public lane for agentic tasks, so no winner is named for agentic tasks.
Which costs less, Gemini 3 Flash or GPT-5.4 Pro?
For the stated presets, chat costs $0.002 on Gemini 3 Flash and $0.12 on GPT-5.4 Pro; repository review costs $0.034 and $2.04; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.05 and $8.40. GPT-5.4 Pro has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.
Which has the larger context window, Gemini 3 Flash or GPT-5.4 Pro?
GPT-5.4 Pro has the larger documented context window: 1.05M, compared with 1M.
