Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
UI-TARS-2 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.
ByteDance
UI-TARS-2, released by ByteDance in September 2025, is a major generational upgrade of the UI-TARS family of GUI interaction models, with enhanced capabilities across computer control, game environments, code generation, and tool use. It targets agentic workflows requiring robust multimodal understanding of graphical interfaces across diverse application domains.
