About
OpenAI's GPT-5.1-Codex-Max is a code-specialized model released November 19, 2025, optimized for agentic coding tasks including project-scale refactors, debugging, and multi-file edits. Uses context compaction to handle long-running tasks beyond a single context window. 30% more token-efficient than previous Codex on SWE-bench. Supports an extra-high reasoning effort option.
GPT-5.1 Codex Max is a proprietary model in the GPT-5.1 family. The structured metadata tracks multimodal input, reasoning, function calling, tool use, and structured outputs. This page tracks provider routes through OpenRouter and Vercel AI Gateway, with the cheapest tracked route listed at $1.25 input and $10 output per 1M tokens. No headline benchmark score is tracked for GPT-5.1 Codex Max yet.
