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.
Moonshot AI
Kimi K2 Thinking, released by Moonshot AI on November 6, 2025, is a reasoning-focused variant of Kimi K2 with 1 trillion total parameters and 32 billion active parameters, featuring extended chain-of-thought processing for complex problem solving. It builds on K2's agentic coding strengths with additional capabilities for mathematical and scientific reasoning. Kimi K2 Thinking targets open-source deployments requiring deep, deliberate reasoning across coding and analytical domains.
