Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Grok 2 supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
GPT-5.3 Codex, released by OpenAI in February 2026, is a coding-specialized large language model from the GPT-5.3 family. It targets software engineering workflows including automated code generation, test writing, and agentic multi-file editing, built on the incremental improvements of the GPT-5.3 generation.
xAI
Grok 2, released by xAI in August 2024, is a large language model with 131K token context window and native image understanding, developed with access to real-time information from the X platform. It features multimodal input capabilities and improved reasoning over its predecessor. Grok 2 targets conversational assistants, image analysis, and real-time information retrieval tasks via the xAI API.
