Gemini 1.5 Pro vs GPT-o1

Compare two of the most advanced AI models available today. Find out which one suits your needs better.

Quick Overview

Gemini 1.5 Pro

by Google DeepMind

Gemini 1.5 Pro features a breakthrough 2-million token context window, allowing it to process vast amounts of information, including long videos and massive codebases, in a single prompt.

Modalities

TextImageAudioVideo

Best For

Analyzing large documents, video content understanding, and complex research tasks requiring huge context.

GPT-o1

by OpenAI

GPT-o1 is OpenAI's first 'reasoning' model, trained to think before it speaks. It excels at complex math, science, and coding problems where step-by-step logic is required.

Modalities

Text

Best For

Scientific research, complex algorithm design, advanced mathematical problem solving.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Gemini 1.5 Pro

Strengths

  • Massive 2M token context window
  • Native multimodal understanding (video/audio)
  • Deep integration with Google Workspace
  • Strong performance in long-context retrieval

Weaknesses

  • Can be slower than competitors for short queries
  • Overly cautious safety filters sometimes block benign requests

GPT-o1

Strengths

  • Exceptional reasoning and logic capabilities
  • Superior performance in math and hard sciences
  • Reduces hallucinations by 'thinking' through steps
  • Best-in-class coding generation

Weaknesses

  • Slower response time due to 'thinking' phase
  • More expensive than standard models
  • Currently text-only (preview)

What Users Are Saying

Gemini 1.5 Pro Users

Users are amazed by its ability to recall information from massive documents and videos. However, some find its reasoning consistency slightly behind GPT-4o in short-context tasks.

GPT-o1 Users

Researchers and coders find GPT-o1 significantly better at solving hard problems than previous models, though its slower inference time makes it less suitable for casual chat.

Final Verdict

Use Gemini 1.5 Pro when you have a lot of data to process (long context). Use GPT-o1 when you have a difficult problem to solve (deep reasoning). They serve different high-end niches.
