Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
GPT-5.1 supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
Google DeepMind
Gemini Diffusion is an experimental text and code generation model from Google DeepMind, announced at Google I/O in May 2025 as the first diffusion-based language model to achieve quality comparable to autoregressive models on standard benchmarks. Unlike transformer-based models that predict tokens sequentially left-to-right, it generates entire blocks of text by iteratively refining noise — the paradigm used in image and video generation models — enabling faster sampling speeds and stronger mid-generation error correction for code and mathematical editing tasks. At announcement it was available only as an experimental demo via waitlist, with no public API, marking it as a research milestone rather than a production deployment.
OpenAI
GPT-5.1, released by OpenAI in November 2025, is a large language model from the GPT-5 family that delivers incremental improvements in reasoning, instruction following, and multimodal understanding over GPT-5. It features a 400K token context window and targets general-purpose development, long-context analysis, and agentic workflows.
