Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Grok 3 supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
GPT-5.2 Codex is a coding-specialized variant from the GPT-5.2 family, designed for software engineering workflows including automated code generation, multi-file editing, and agentic development. It builds on GPT-5.2's improved instruction following and long-context capabilities, with optimizations specifically targeting programming tasks and agentic software workflows.
xAI
Grok 3, released by xAI in February 2025, is a large language model trained on xAI's Colossus supercluster with substantially increased compute over previous generations. It features a 1M token context window, RL-enhanced Think mode for extended reasoning, and demonstrated strong results on mathematics, coding, and scientific benchmarks. Grok 3 targets complex reasoning, real-time information tasks via X platform integration, and agentic workflows via the xAI API.
