GPT-5 Pro or o4 Mini High: which to pick
Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Pick GPT-5 Pro for a larger context window (400K against 200K tokens).
No benchmark has tested both yet. GPT-5 Pro has results on WeirdML, Epoch Capabilities Index and ARC-AGI; o4 Mini High on ALE-Bench and GDPval. Compare them on price and context instead.

Benchmark by benchmark
Every board either model has a result on, a category to a fold; bars are each result on a 0 to 100 scale. Only one model is measured on each, so no row names a leader.
