Pairwise benchmark snapshot · Aug 1, 2026
This page compares Gemini 1.5 Pro (Google) and Grok 4 (xAI) using the latest snapshots we have as of Aug 1, 2026. On preference Elo, Grok 4 is ahead by 228 points (1,488 vs 1,260; seed-bootstrap (Aug 1, 2026)). On SWE-bench coding, Grok 4 resolves 58.6% versus 38% (seed-bootstrap (Aug 1, 2026)). Grok 4 streams faster (98 tok/s) while Gemini 1.5 Pro is the cheaper output token ($5/1M). Gemini 1.5 Pro has the larger context window (2M tokens). Every cell below is a dated snapshot from a named public source — we do not invent missing scores, and we do not run SWE-bench ourselves.
