Phi-4 vs o1-pro

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

Phi-4 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 39 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 Phi-4. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. o1-pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while Phi-4 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. o1-pro gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 16K for Phi-4.

Quick Verdict

Pick Phi-4 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. o1-pro only becomes the better choice if knowledge is the priority or you need the larger 200K context window.
