Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
GPT-4o mini is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 52 to 33. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
GPT-4o mini's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 65 against 8.2. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HumanEval, 87.2 to 17.
GPT-4o mini is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.15 input / $0.60 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking is the reasoning model in the pair, while GPT-4o 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-4o mini gives you the larger context window at 128K, compared with 32K for LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking.
Pick GPT-4o mini if you want the stronger benchmark profile. LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.
