GPT-5.4 Pro vs Mixtral 8x22B Instruct v0.1

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

GPT-5.4 Pro is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 94 to 28. 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 54.8. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HumanEval, 95 to 54.8.

GPT-5.4 Pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $30.00 input / $180.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Mixtral 8x22B Instruct v0.1. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. GPT-5.4 Pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while Mixtral 8x22B Instruct v0.1 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 64K for Mixtral 8x22B Instruct v0.1.

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-5.4 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Mixtral 8x22B Instruct v0.1 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.
