Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Qwen3-VL Flash 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
Qwen3-VL Flash is a lightweight multimodal variant from Alibaba's Qwen3-VL family, designed for efficient visual reasoning and image understanding at lower inference cost. It inherits the joint visual-textual architecture of the Qwen3-VL series and targets latency-sensitive applications requiring multimodal input processing at scale.
