Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
. 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
OpenAI o1, released by OpenAI in December 2024, is a reasoning-focused large language model that applies extended chain-of-thought processing before generating responses. It features a 200K token context window and native image understanding, demonstrating strong performance on STEM benchmarks requiring multi-step reasoning. o1 targets mathematics, science, and coding tasks where careful deliberation over the problem produces more accurate outputs than direct generation.
