Side-by-side benchmark comparison across knowledge, coding, math, and reasoning.
Moonshot v1 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 51 to 43. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Moonshot v1's sharpest advantage is in mathematics, where it averages 54.5 against 26.4. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MMLU, 53 to 90.2. GPT-4.1 does hit back in knowledge, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
GPT-4.1 gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 128K for Moonshot v1.
Pick Moonshot v1 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. GPT-4.1 only becomes the better choice if knowledge is the priority or you need the larger 1M context window.
