Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Qwen2.5-VL 32B Instruct 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.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen2.5-VL-32B-Instruct is a 32-billion-parameter vision-language model from Alibaba, extending the Qwen2.5 architecture with multimodal capabilities for understanding images, documents, charts, and video frames alongside text. The model was designed for tasks requiring deep visual reasoning — such as document parsing, table extraction, and spatial understanding — with performance that made it a practical choice for document intelligence and visual data analysis workflows. As an open-weight model, it became a widely adopted foundation for fine-tuning domain-specific multimodal applications.
