Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Seed 1.5-VL 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.
ByteDance
Seed1.5-VL, released by ByteDance Seed on May 15, 2025, is a vision-language foundation model composed of a 532M-parameter vision encoder and a Mixture-of-Experts language model with 20 billion active parameters. It was pretrained on over 3 trillion multimodal tokens and achieved state-of-the-art performance on 38 out of 60 public VLM benchmarks at release. Seed1.5-VL targets complex visual reasoning, OCR, video comprehension, 3D spatial understanding, and multimodal agentic tasks.
