Our score (0-100) is driven by benchmark performance (90%) from Arena Elo ratings, MMLU, GPQA, HumanEval, SWE-bench, and 15+ standardized evaluations. Capabilities and context window serve as tiebreakers (10%). Learn more about our methodology.
Scores 72/100 (rank #81), placing it in the top 72% of all 290 models tracked.
Scores 71/100 (rank #89), placing it in the top 70% of all 290 models tracked.
With only a 1-point gap, these models are in the same performance tier. The practical difference in output quality is minimal - your choice should depend on pricing, latency requirements, and specific feature needs.
Gemini 2.0 Flash offers 96% better value per quality point. At 1M tokens/day, you'd spend $7.50/month with Gemini 2.0 Flash vs $187.50/month with GPT-4o - a $180.00 monthly difference.
Both models have comparable response speeds. For most applications, the latency difference is negligible.
When latency matters most: Interactive chatbots, IDE code completion, real-time translation, and user-facing applications where response time directly impacts experience. For batch processing, background summarization, or offline analysis, latency is less critical.
Code generation & review
Based on overall model capabilities and architecture for coding tasks like generating functions, debugging, and refactoring
Customer support chatbot
Suitable for user-facing chat with competitive response times. Gemini 2.0 Flash also offers lower per-token costs for high-volume support
Long document analysis
