GPT-5.2 Pro vs Llama 4 Maverick

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 43. 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 15.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Pro, 89 to 17.

GPT-5.2 Pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $25.00 input / $150.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Llama 4 Maverick. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. GPT-5.2 Pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while Llama 4 Maverick 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. Llama 4 Maverick 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. Llama 4 Maverick only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you need the larger 1M context window.
