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-Ultra-253B-v1 is a 253-billion-parameter model from NVIDIA, derived from Meta's Llama 3.1 405B using neural architecture search (NAS) compression combined with NVIDIA's Nemotron post-training pipeline, which recovers and exceeds the base model's capability after structural compression. Released in April 2025, it supports toggling between a standard instruction mode and an extended reasoning mode via system prompt, allowing the same model to handle both rapid responses and deliberate chain-of-thought tasks. It is the flagship of the Nemotron family, available open-weight on HuggingFace and through NVIDIA NIM for enterprise inference.
