Nova Pro 1.0 vs GPT-4o-mini
Updated October 21, 2026. 9 benchmarks have a result for both. Coding is ranked on the Vibe Coding Index; every other board is shown as published.
Decision reading
Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Nova Pro 1.0 has the edge where the context window is larger, 300K against 128K tokens, and where what matters is LiveCodeBench (Artificial Analysis run) or Humanity's Last Exam (Artificial Analysis run), where it leads.
