Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
GPT-5 Pro supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
GPT-5 Codex, released by OpenAI in August 2025, is a coding-specialized large language model from the GPT-5 family engineered for software engineering, code generation, and agentic development workflows. It builds on GPT-5's architecture with optimizations targeting multi-file code editing, test generation, and automated debugging. GPT-5 Codex targets developers and agentic coding tools requiring a model tuned specifically for programming tasks.
OpenAI
GPT-5 Pro is an extended-reasoning variant from the GPT-5 family that applies more compute per response for deeper, more thorough answers on complex problems. It features the same 400K token context window and multimodal capabilities as GPT-5, with additional reasoning depth suited to research-grade analysis, advanced coding, and tasks requiring comprehensive, accurate outputs.
