Pick Gemini 3 Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. GPT-5.4 Pro only becomes the better choice if reasoning is the priority or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.
Confidence note. This is a partial-evidence comparison with 5 shared benchmark results across 3 evidence categories; 3 of 8 categories currently have scoreable aggregates for both models. Treat the verdict as directional until coverage is more balanced.
Why this result
Gemini 3 Pro is clearly ahead on the BenchAlign aggregate, 67.73 to 60.89. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
GPT-5.4 Pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $30.00 input / $180.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $2.00 input / $12.00 output per 1M tokens for Gemini 3 Pro. That is roughly 15.0x on output cost alone. GPT-5.4 Pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while Gemini 3 Pro is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use. Gemini 3 Pro gives you the larger context window at 2M, compared with 1.05M for GPT-5.4 Pro.
