GPT-5.2 Pro vs o1-pro
GPT-5.2 Pro costs 3.6x less per output token than o1-pro ($168.00 vs $600.00 per million). Updated October 21, 2026; 1 benchmarks have a result for both.
GPT-5.2 Pro or o1-pro: which to pick
Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Pick GPT-5.2 Pro for output tokens 3.6x cheaper ($168.00 vs $600.00 per million) and a larger context window (400K against 200K tokens).

Benchmark by benchmark
First the score: boards each model leads, per category, where both have a result. Then every board, a category to a fold; bars are each result on a 0 to 100 scale, so compare the two in a row, not one row with another.
