Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
GPT-5 supports multimodal inputs. 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.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen3 Coder Next is a coding-specialized open-weight model from Alibaba's Qwen3 family, built on the Qwen3-Next architecture with hybrid attention and Mixture-of-Experts design optimized for local development and agentic coding workflows. It targets on-device and self-hosted deployments requiring a capable coding agent that can operate within consumer hardware constraints.
