New Benchmarking Unleashed: Benchmarking with ChatGPT o4 Mini High and Qwen 2.5
Why AI Evolution Is Driven by Benchmarking
Imagine a world in which AI models compete using scores rather than swords, showcasing their actual prowess in terms of speed, inventiveness, and coding. That is benchmarking’s magic, the unsung hero of AI advancement. It serves as our yardstick and crystal ball, revealing the strengths and weaknesses of these digital titans. We identify models’ blind spots and areas of genius by putting them through a rigorous set of activities, which propels creativity. This time, we’re putting two formidable competitors—ChatGPT o4 Mini High and Qwen 2.5—in the ring, ready to show off their prowess and demonstrate what’s feasible in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.

ChatGPT o4 Mini High:
Let’s rewind a little. We relied on ChatGPT o4 Mini, a sleek, model designed for speed and efficiency, in previous benchmarks. It excelled in multimodal reasoning and coding with a typical, low-effort reasoning configuration, tuned for maximum throughput and low latency. Meet ChatGPT o4 Mini High, its more powerful sibling. The same core, but with a higher reasoning_effort setting; it sacrifices some speed in exchange for more precise precision and intricate cognitive processes. The reward? It excels at creating LaTeX documents and diagrams and web search . The problem is that, despite having beautiful quality and generation, its image production moves slowly, detracting from the entire atmosphere when compared to faster rivals.And that LaTeX game? It’s good, but models like LLaMA4 still hold the crown.
Qwen 2.5:
Qwen 2.5, a multifaceted giant that dominates coding, math, long-context difficulties, and even linguistic accomplishments. In addition to following instructions, this extensive language model series feeds on them, doing exceptionally well with structured data and effortlessly adjusting to unpredictable system prompts. With a perfect score of 4, it excels in creating latex documents, creating diagrams, and reminding users to do tasks. As a result, it is ideal for creating chatbots and role-playing scenarios. However, speed? Its kryptonite is that. It scores 3.5 in web development, falling short with competitors like Athena ChatApp (4.5). Nevertheless, Qwen 2.5’s ability to be consistent and sophisticated keeps it competitive.
The Contenders: A Clash of Strengths
Zoom out, and the benchmark battlefield gets crowded. LLaMA4 and Claude 4 flex their LaTeX with matching 4.5s, though Claude’s image generation is a no-show (N/A). Gemini 2.5 Pro paints a pretty picture with a 4.5 in image generation but stumbles on task reminders (3). Deepseek v2 nails web search at 4.5, yet its 3.5 in speed keeps it grounded. Grok 3 balances website creation and speed with twin 4s, but voice prompting? Missing in action. Each model’s a mixed bag—proof that picking the perfect AI tool is all about matching strengths to your mission.
Athena ChatApp: A Versatile and Reliable Choice
And then there’s Athena , standing out for its versatility and consistency. It earns high scores across a variety of tasks, including website creation, LaTeX, image generation, diagram creation, and speed, with an impressive 4.5 in task reminders. While other models may take the lead in specific areas—such as LLaMA4’s precision in LaTeX or Gemini 2.5 Pro’s lightning-fast image generation—Athena’s strength lies in its well-rounded performance across multiple domains.
From everyday needs like product recommendations and reminders to more demanding tasks like coding, web development, and LaTeX document generation, Athena delivers dependable results.From breezy tasks like product picks and reminders to hardcore challenges like vibe coding, web dev, and LaTeX wizardry, Athena delivers with flair and finesse. This benchmark showcases Athena’s value and its potential to play a meaningful role in advancing technology, alongside other models that bring their own unique strengths to the table.
