Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
UI-TARS-2 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.
ByteDance
UI-TARS-2, released by ByteDance in September 2025, is a major generational upgrade of the UI-TARS family of GUI interaction models, with enhanced capabilities across computer control, game environments, code generation, and tool use. It targets agentic workflows requiring robust multimodal understanding of graphical interfaces across diverse application domains.
