Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
GPT-4.1, released by OpenAI in April 2025, is a large language model from the GPT-4 family optimized for coding, precise instruction following, and long-context tasks. It features a 1M token context window and native image understanding, with improved performance on tool-calling and web development benchmarks compared to GPT-4o. GPT-4.1 targets software development workflows, long-document analysis, and applications requiring accurate, instruction-adherent outputs.
Mistral AI
Mistral Small 3.1 is a 24-billion-parameter multimodal model from Mistral AI, released in March 2025 as an update to Mistral Small 3 that added vision understanding and expanded the context window from 32K to 128K tokens. The model accepts both text and image inputs, broadening its applicability to document analysis, image-grounded reasoning, and mixed-media workflows without requiring an increase in parameter count. Released under Apache 2.0, it continued Mistral's pattern of incremental capability gains delivered in compact, practically deployable open-weight packages.
