The right pick depends on your workload, so the quickest way to settle it is to send the same prompt to both and compare.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is o1-pro or Command A cheaper?
Command A is cheaper for a typical chat (2K input tokens and 500 output tokens). Command A costs $2.50 per 1M input tokens and $10 per 1M output tokens, while o1-pro costs $150 per 1M input tokens and $600 per 1M output tokens.
Which has a bigger context window, o1-pro or Command A?
Command A supports up to 256K tokens of context, compared with 200K for o1-pro.
Is o1-pro smarter than Command A?
On the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, o1-pro scores 12.4 and Command A scores 13.1, putting Command A ahead. Benchmarks don't capture everything, so the best test is running your own prompts through both.
Can I use o1-pro and Command A at the same time?
Yes. Shortcut Chat sends one prompt to multiple models at once, so you can see o1-pro and Command A answer side by side and keep the better response.
Why choose? Ask both.
Send one prompt to o1-pro and Command A at the same time. Compare the answers side by side and keep the best one.
