Seed-2.0-Mini vs Phi-4

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 42. 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 reasoning, where it averages 64.8 against 31.3. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MRCRv2, 72 to 33. Phi-4 does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

Seed-2.0-Mini is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.10 input / $0.40 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. Seed-2.0-Mini gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 16K for Phi-4.

Quick Verdict

Pick Seed-2.0-Mini if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Phi-4 only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
