Side-by-side benchmark comparison across knowledge, coding, math, and reasoning.
GPT-5.4 Pro has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 94 versus 91. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.
GPT-5.4 Pro's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 89 against 83.3. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HLE, 50 to 42.
GPT-5.4 Pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $30.00 input / $180.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $2.00 input / $8.00 output per 1M tokens for GPT-5.2. That is roughly 22.5x on output cost alone. GPT-5.4 Pro gives you the larger context window at 1.05M, compared with 400K for GPT-5.2.
Pick GPT-5.4 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. GPT-5.2 only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill.
