GPT-5.2 Pro vs LFM2-24B-A2B

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 38. 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 18. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Pro, 89 to 19.

GPT-5.2 Pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $25.00 input / $150.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.03 input / $0.12 output per 1M tokens for LFM2-24B-A2B. That is roughly 1250.0x on output cost alone. GPT-5.2 Pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while LFM2-24B-A2B 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-5.2 Pro gives you the larger context window at 400K, compared with 32K for LFM2-24B-A2B.

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-5.2 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. LFM2-24B-A2B only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
