Seed-2.0-Mini vs GPT-4o mini

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

Seed-2.0-Mini finishes one point ahead overall, 53 to 52. That is enough to call, but not enough to treat as a blowout. This matchup comes down to a few meaningful edges rather than one model dominating the board.

Seed-2.0-Mini's sharpest advantage is in reasoning, where it averages 64.8 against 49.4. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Pro, 29 to 65. GPT-4o mini does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

GPT-4o mini is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.15 input / $0.60 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.10 input / $0.40 output per 1M tokens for Seed-2.0-Mini. Seed-2.0-Mini gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 128K for GPT-4o mini.

Quick Verdict

Pick Seed-2.0-Mini if you want the stronger benchmark profile. GPT-4o mini only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority.
