Scores 70/100 (rank #95), placing it in the top 68% of all 290 models tracked.
With only a 0-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.
DeepSeek V3.2 offers 95% better value per quality point. At 1M tokens/day, you'd spend $9.45/month with DeepSeek V3.2 vs $187.50/month with GPT-4o Audio - a $178.05 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. DeepSeek V3.2 also offers lower per-token costs for high-volume support
