GPT-5.2 or Relace Search: which to pick
Only GPT-5.2 has a coding score, 55.9 on the Vibe Coding Index; Relace Search has none, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Pick Relace Search for output tokens 4.7x cheaper ($3.00 vs $14.00 per million).
No benchmark has tested both yet. GPT-5.2 has results on SWE-bench Verified, SWE-bench Multilingual and LMArena WebDev; Relace Search has none yet. Compare them on price and context instead.

What each workload costs
Three fixed token mixes at each model's listed price, so per-token rates become a bill.
Chat turn
1K input + 500 output tokens
Relace Search costs less
Repository review
50K input + 3K output tokens
Relace Search costs less
Agent loop
200K input + 10K output tokens
Relace Search costs less
Listed OpenRouter rates, without cache or batch discounts. A workload that does not fit a model's context window would need splitting.

Questions
Is GPT-5.2 better than Relace Search for coding?
Only GPT-5.2 has a coding score, 55.9 on the Vibe Coding Index; Relace Search has none, so the two cannot be ranked on coding. Pick Relace Search for output tokens 4.7x cheaper ($3.00 vs $14.00 per million).
Which is cheaper, GPT-5.2 or Relace Search?
GPT-5.2 costs $1.75 per million input tokens and $14.00 per million output tokens; Relace Search costs $1.00 and $3.00. Cost per solved task is known for GPT-5.2 only.
Which has the bigger context window, GPT-5.2 or Relace Search?
GPT-5.2, with 400K tokens against 256K.
Has any benchmark tested both GPT-5.2 and Relace Search?
No benchmark has tested both yet. GPT-5.2 has results on SWE-bench Verified, SWE-bench Multilingual and LMArena WebDev; Relace Search has none yet. Compare them on price and context instead. Data as of October 21, 2026.
