GPT-5.2 Pro vs Grok 4.1 Fast

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

GPT-5.2 Pro is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 90 to 76. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GPT-5.2 Pro's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 84.8 against 59.5. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is LiveCodeBench, 81 to 54.

GPT-5.2 Pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while Grok 4.1 Fast 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. Grok 4.1 Fast gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 400K for GPT-5.2 Pro.

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-5.2 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Grok 4.1 Fast only becomes the better choice if you need the larger 1M context window or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
