AI Model Performance Showdown: o3 vs. Gemini 2.5 Pro Each Has Strengths: OpenAI’s o3 and Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro show fierce competition across several new benchmarks. o3 performs better on long-context fiction puzzle solving (FictionLiveBench), while Gemini 2.5 Pro leads in physics and spatial reasoning (PHYBench), math competitions (USMO), and geolocation (GeoGuessing), and at a lower cost (about 1/4 of o3). Performance varied on Visual Puzzles and basic visual question answering (NaturalBench). This indicates that the performance of current top models is highly dependent on specific tasks and evaluation benchmarks, with no absolute leader.

AI Moving Towards a “Pay-to-Win” Model: Industry observers note that as AI model capabilities improve and applications expand, accessing top-tier AI capabilities may increasingly require payment. Companies like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic are launching or planning higher-priced subscription services (e.g., Premium Plus/Pro, potentially $100-$200/month). This reflects the high computational costs required for model training (especially post-RL training) and large-scale inference, as well as the need for companies to balance computing resources between model development, new features, low latency, and user growth. In the future, free or low-cost AI services might diverge in capability from paid cutting-edge services. (Source: o3 breaks (some) records, but AI becomes pay-to-win
