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.
NVIDIA
Llama-3.1-Nemotron-Nano-8B-v1 is an 8-billion-parameter model from NVIDIA, developed as a fine-tuned variant of Meta's Llama 3.1 8B using NVIDIA's Nemotron post-training methodology, which applies reinforcement learning and process reward modeling to enhance instruction-following and reasoning capability over the base model. The Nano designation marks it as the entry-level member of the Nemotron family, optimized for efficient inference on a single GPU while delivering meaningfully improved performance on instruction alignment and agentic tasks compared to standard Llama 3.1. Released open-weight on HuggingFace, it is designed for deployment in NVIDIA-accelerated environments and supports NVIDIA NIM for enterprise inference.
