Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
o1 supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
OpenAI o1, released by OpenAI in December 2024, is a reasoning-focused large language model that applies extended chain-of-thought processing before generating responses. It features a 200K token context window and native image understanding, demonstrating strong performance on STEM benchmarks requiring multi-step reasoning. o1 targets mathematics, science, and coding tasks where careful deliberation over the problem produces more accurate outputs than direct generation.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen3 Coder Next is a coding-specialized open-weight model from Alibaba's Qwen3 family, built on the Qwen3-Next architecture with hybrid attention and Mixture-of-Experts design optimized for local development and agentic coding workflows. It targets on-device and self-hosted deployments requiring a capable coding agent that can operate within consumer hardware constraints.
