Task-specific scoring for math workloads across 5 dimensions.
| Dimension | GPT-5.2 | Gemini 3 Flash | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step-by-step Reasoning | Solid multi-step reasoning with clear explanations. Reliable on undergraduate-level problems. | Fast reasoning but sometimes skips steps. More prone to arithmetic errors on complex chains. | |
| Symbolic Math | Handles algebra and calculus competently. Good at symbolic simplification. | Adequate on basic symbolic tasks but less reliable on complex integrals and series. | |
| Word Problems | Accurately extracts mathematical structure from natural language descriptions. | Good at straightforward word problems. Struggles more with multi-constraint problems. | |
| Statistical Analysis | Correctly applies common tests and explains results clearly for non-technical audiences. | Fast at basic statistical calculations. Google's training data gives it strong knowledge of statistical methods. | tie |
| Proof Construction | Handles basic proofs and induction. Struggles with more abstract constructions. | Weaker at formal proofs. Better suited to computational math than theoretical work. |
Pick GPT-5.2 for homework help, exam prep, formal proofs, and any math task requiring careful step-by-step reasoning.
Pick Gemini 3 Flash for quick calculations, basic statistics, and math tasks where speed matters more than showing detailed work.
GPT-5.2 is the stronger math model with more reliable reasoning, better symbolic manipulation, and stronger proof construction. Gemini 3 Flash's speed makes it useful for quick calculations but it trails GPT-5.2 on problems requiring careful multi-step work.
