Llama 4 Scout vs o1-pro

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

Llama 4 Scout is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 42 to 33. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

o1-pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $150.00 input / $600.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Llama 4 Scout. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. o1-pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while Llama 4 Scout 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. Llama 4 Scout gives you the larger context window at 10M, compared with 200K for o1-pro.

Quick Verdict

Pick Llama 4 Scout if you want the stronger benchmark profile. o1-pro only becomes the better choice if knowledge is the priority or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.
