Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 87 to 33. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 82.3 against 8.2. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Pro, 85 to 7.
GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark is also the more expensive model on tokens at $2.00 input / $8.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 32K for LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking.
Pick GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark if you want the stronger benchmark profile. LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill.
