GPT-5.4 mini vs MiniMax M2.7

Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.

GPT-5.4 mini finishes one point ahead overall, 58 to 57. That is enough to call, but not enough to treat as a blowout. This matchup comes down to a few meaningful edges rather than one model dominating the board.

GPT-5.4 mini's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 65.6 against 57. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is Toolathlon, 42.9% to 46.3%. MiniMax M2.7 does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

GPT-5.4 mini is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.75 input / $4.50 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.30 input / $1.20 output per 1M tokens for MiniMax M2.7. That is roughly 3.8x on output cost alone. GPT-5.4 mini is the reasoning model in the pair, while MiniMax M2.7 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-5.4 mini gives you the larger context window at 400K, compared with 200K for MiniMax M2.7.

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-5.4 mini if you want the stronger benchmark profile. MiniMax M2.7 only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
