Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B offers 76.8K more tokens in context window than o1 mini. Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B is $4.50 cheaper per million tokens. Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
OpenAI o1 mini, released by OpenAI in September 2024, is a lightweight reasoning model from the o1 family optimized for efficient STEM problem-solving at lower cost and latency. It features a 128K token context window and applies chain-of-thought reasoning specifically tuned for mathematics, science, and coding tasks. o1 mini targets use cases where rapid, cost-efficient reasoning is preferred over the broader capabilities of the full o1 model.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B, released by Alibaba's Qwen team in September 2025, is a natively multimodal Mixture-of-Experts large language model with 235 billion total parameters and 22 billion active parameters. It features a 256K token context window (with extrapolation to 1M tokens), native support for text, image, and video input, and joint visual-textual reasoning capabilities. Qwen3-VL-235B targets complex visual reasoning, video understanding, and multimodal agentic tasks under the Apache 2.0 license.
