Gemma 4 E4B· o1-pro

Quick Verdict

Pick Gemma 4 E4B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. o1-pro only becomes the better choice if reasoning is the priority or you need the larger 200K context window.

Gemma 4 E4B has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 47 versus 45. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.

Gemma 4 E4B's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 52 against 23. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MRCRv2, 25.4% to 59%. o1-pro does hit back in reasoning, 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 E4B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. o1-pro gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 128K for Gemma 4 E4B.

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.
