Gemma 4 E2B· o1-pro

Quick Verdict

Pick o1-pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Gemma 4 E2B only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.

o1-pro is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 45 to 39. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

o1-pro's sharpest advantage is in reasoning, where it averages 56.3 against 19.1. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MRCRv2, 19.1% to 59%. Gemma 4 E2B does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

o1-pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $150.00 input / $600.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Gemma 4 E2B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. o1-pro gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 128K for Gemma 4 E2B.

Decision framing

BenchLM keeps the benchmark table and the operator tradeoffs on the same page so a better score does not hide a materially slower, pricier, or smaller-context model.

Runtime metrics show N/A when BenchLM does not have a sourced snapshot for that exact model. The scoring rules and freshness policy are documented on the methodology page.
