Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
GPT-5.1 supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
GPT-5.1, released by OpenAI in November 2025, is a large language model from the GPT-5 family that delivers incremental improvements in reasoning, instruction following, and multimodal understanding over GPT-5. It features a 400K token context window and targets general-purpose development, long-context analysis, and agentic workflows.
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.
