Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Grok 3 supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
GPT-5.1 Codex Max, released by OpenAI in November 2025, is an enhanced coding variant from the GPT-5.1 Codex line, designed for more complex software engineering tasks requiring additional reasoning depth. It targets large-scale code generation, automated refactoring, and sophisticated agentic development workflows.
xAI
Grok 3, released by xAI in February 2025, is a large language model trained on xAI's Colossus supercluster with substantially increased compute over previous generations. It features a 1M token context window, RL-enhanced Think mode for extended reasoning, and demonstrated strong results on mathematics, coding, and scientific benchmarks. Grok 3 targets complex reasoning, real-time information tasks via X platform integration, and agentic workflows via the xAI API.
