Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
o4-mini (high) and Seed-2.0-Lite finish on the same overall score, so this is less about a single winner and more about where the edge shows up. The headline says tie; the benchmark table is where the real choice happens.
Seed-2.0-Lite gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 200K for o4-mini (high).
Treat this as a split decision. o4-mini (high) makes more sense if mathematics is the priority; Seed-2.0-Lite is the better fit if multimodal & grounded is the priority or you need the larger 256K context window.
