Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
GPT-5, released by OpenAI on August 7, 2025, is a large language model that combines direct generation and extended reasoning in a single unified system with a built-in routing mechanism. It features a 400K token context window, 128K maximum output tokens, native multimodal support (text, image, audio, video), and demonstrated strong results across coding, mathematics, visual understanding, and health benchmarks at release. GPT-5 targets complex multi-step tasks including advanced coding, mathematical problem solving, and long-context analysis.
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.
