Questions people ask
Which is better, GPT-4o or MiniMax M1 80K?
MiniMax M1 80K wins five of the six areas where both have results: coding, agents, reasoning, long documents and following instructions. GPT-4o wins facts.
Which is better for coding?
MiniMax M1 80K. It wins 2 of the 3 coding tests both models report; GPT-4o wins 1.
Which is cheaper?
GPT-4o costs $5.00 per million input tokens and $15.00 per million output tokens; MiniMax M1 80K costs $0.55 and $2.20. That makes MiniMax M1 80K about 86% cheaper for the same work.
How do you compare the two?
We use the 26 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 13 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 13 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
