Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
GPT-4.1 supports multimodal inputs. 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.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct is a 32-billion-parameter code-specialized model from Alibaba, released in November 2024 and trained on a large corpus spanning 92 programming languages including C, Python, Java, Rust, and domain-specific languages. The model was designed to provide competitive code generation, repair, and reasoning capabilities as an open-weight alternative for developers building code assistant tools and automated review pipelines. Its 128K context window enables whole-file and multi-file code comprehension, making it particularly suited for complex repository-level tasks.
