. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
GPT-5.1 Codex, released by OpenAI in November 2025, is a coding-specialized model from the GPT-5.1 family engineered for software engineering tasks including code generation, multi-file editing, and agentic development. It targets developers and automated coding pipelines requiring a GPT-5.1-generation model tuned for programming.
OpenAI
GPT-5.3 Codex, released by OpenAI in February 2026, is a coding-specialized large language model from the GPT-5.3 family. It targets software engineering workflows including automated code generation, test writing, and agentic multi-file editing, built on the incremental improvements of the GPT-5.3 generation.
