GPT-4.1 vs MiniMax M2.7

Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.

GPT-4.1 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 67 to 57. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GPT-4.1's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 64.7 against 57. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Pro, 51% to 56.2%. MiniMax M2.7 does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

GPT-4.1 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $2.00 input / $8.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.30 input / $1.20 output per 1M tokens for MiniMax M2.7. That is roughly 6.7x on output cost alone. GPT-4.1 gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 200K for MiniMax M2.7.

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-4.1 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. MiniMax M2.7 only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
