GPT-5.4 vs Seed-2.0-Mini

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

GPT-5.4 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 90 to 53. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GPT-5.4's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 84.5 against 24.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is LiveCodeBench, 84 to 21.

GPT-5.4 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $2.50 input / $15.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.10 input / $0.40 output per 1M tokens for Seed-2.0-Mini. That is roughly 37.5x on output cost alone. GPT-5.4 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Seed-2.0-Mini 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 gives you the larger context window at 1.05M, compared with 256K for Seed-2.0-Mini.

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-5.4 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Seed-2.0-Mini 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.
