Side-by-side benchmark comparison across knowledge, coding, math, and reasoning.
Gemini 3 Pro Deep Think is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 85 to 51. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Gemini 3 Pro Deep Think's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 69 against 41. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is AIME 2024, 99 to 74.3. o1 does hit back in instruction following, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
Gemini 3 Pro Deep Think gives you the larger context window at 2M, compared with 200K for o1.
Pick Gemini 3 Pro Deep Think if you want the stronger benchmark profile. o1 only becomes the better choice if instruction following is the priority.
