Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
GPT-4.1 mini is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 60 to 49. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
K-Exaone is the reasoning model in the pair, while GPT-4.1 mini 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-4.1 mini gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 256K for K-Exaone.
Pick GPT-4.1 mini if you want the stronger benchmark profile. K-Exaone only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.
