Seed-2.0-Mini vs GPT-5 nano

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

Seed-2.0-Mini is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 53 to 45. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Seed-2.0-Mini's sharpest advantage is in multilingual, where it averages 71.8 against 48. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is AIME 2025, 63 to 85.2. GPT-5 nano does hit back in mathematics, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

GPT-5 nano 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 nano gives you the larger context window at 400K, compared with 256K for Seed-2.0-Mini.

Quick Verdict

Pick Seed-2.0-Mini if you want the stronger benchmark profile. GPT-5 nano only becomes the better choice if mathematics is the priority or you need the larger 400K context window.
