GPT-5.2 Pro vs o1-pro

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 45. 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 23. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Pro, 89 to 23.

o1-pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $150.00 input / $600.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $25.00 input / $150.00 output per 1M tokens for GPT-5.2 Pro. That is roughly 4.0x on output cost alone. GPT-5.2 Pro gives you the larger context window at 400K, compared with 200K for o1-pro.

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-5.2 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. o1-pro only becomes the better choice if its workflow or ecosystem matters more than the raw scoreboard.
