GPT-5.4 Pro vs Mistral Large 3

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

GPT-5.4 Pro is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 94 to 68. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GPT-5.4 Pro's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 89 against 50.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is LiveCodeBench, 86 to 39.

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 / $6.00 output per 1M tokens for Mistral Large 3. That is roughly 30.0x on output cost alone. GPT-5.4 Pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while Mistral Large 3 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 Pro gives you the larger context window at 1.05M, compared with 128K for Mistral Large 3.

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-5.4 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Mistral Large 3 only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
