Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
GPT-5.2 supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
GPT-5.2, released by OpenAI on December 11, 2025, is a large language model from the GPT-5 family that improves on GPT-5 in general intelligence, long-context understanding, agentic tool-calling, and vision. It features a 400K token context window, 128K maximum output tokens, and a knowledge cutoff of August 2025. GPT-5.2 targets long-context coding tasks, extended document analysis, and complex agentic workflows requiring reliable instruction following.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct is a 7-billion-parameter code-specialized model from Alibaba, released in November 2024 as part of the Qwen2.5-Coder family, trained on a curated corpus spanning 92 programming languages with emphasis on code generation, debugging, and fill-in-the-middle completion. Built on the Qwen2.5 architecture, it extends the base series' improvements in instruction-following and long-context handling to coding-specific tasks within a compact deployable footprint. It became popular for integration into IDE extensions, CI pipelines, and self-hosted code assistant tools.
