Our composite score (0–100) combines six weighted signals: benchmark performance (25%), pricing efficiency (25%), context window size (15%), model recency (15%), output capacity (10%), and capability versatility (10%). Here's what the scores mean for these two models:
Scores 96/100 (rank #10), placing it in the top 97% of all 290 models tracked.
Scores 83/100 (rank #62), placing it in the top 79% of all 290 models tracked.
GPT-5.2 Pro has a 13-point advantage, which typically translates to noticeably better performance on complex reasoning, code generation, and multi-step tasks.
Grok 4 offers 90% better value per quality point. At 1M tokens/day, you'd spend $270.00/month with Grok 4 vs $2835.00/month with GPT-5.2 Pro — a $2565.00 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
Higher benchmark score (0/100) indicates stronger performance on coding tasks like generating functions, debugging, and refactoring
Customer support chatbot
Faster response time (speed score 0/100) is critical for user-facing chat. Grok 4 also offers lower per-token costs for high-volume support
Long document analysis
Larger context window (400K tokens) can process longer documents, contracts, and research papers in a single pass
Batch data extraction
Lower output pricing ($15.00/M) reduces costs when processing thousands of records daily
Creative writing & content
Higher overall composite score (96/100) correlates with better nuance, coherence, and style in long-form content
Image understanding & OCR
Supports vision input — can analyze screenshots, diagrams, photos, and scanned documents directly
GPT-5.2 Pro clearly outperforms Grok 4 with a significant 12.799999999999997-point lead. For most general use cases, GPT-5.2 Pro is the stronger choice. However, Grok 4 may still excel in niche scenarios.
