Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
. 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.
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.
