Benchmark data for GPT-5.1-Codex-Max and o3-pro is coming soon on BenchLM.

Confidence note. This is a partial-evidence comparison with 2 shared benchmark results across 1 evidence category; 0 of 8 categories currently have scoreable aggregates for both models. Treat the verdict as directional until coverage is more balanced.

Why this result

BenchLM has partial data for these models, but not enough overlapping benchmark coverage to produce a fair score-level comparison yet.

o3-pro is priced at $20.00 input / $80.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $1.25 input / $10.00 output per 1M tokens for GPT-5.1-Codex-Max. GPT-5.1-Codex-Max has the larger context window at 400K, compared with 200K for o3-pro.

Category breakdown

Exact category averages are shown below. Not measured means BenchLM does not have enough sourced public coverage for that model and category.

Operational comparison

Runtime and commercial metrics are compared only when both models have a complete sourced value.

Frequently Asked Questions (3)

Can I compare GPT-5.1-Codex-Max and o3-pro on BenchLM yet?

Not fully yet. BenchLM is tracking both models, but the sourced benchmark breakdown for this comparison is still coming soon.

Why does this comparison show “coming soon”?

BenchLM only shows category winners and benchmark-level calls when we have sourced results that can be compared fairly. For these models, the public benchmark coverage is not complete enough yet.

What data is available for GPT-5.1-Codex-Max and o3-pro today?

GPT-5.1-Codex-Max: $1.25 input / $10.00 output per 1M tokens o3-pro: $20.00 input / $80.00 output per 1M tokens Both model pages still include creator, context window, reasoning mode, and other metadata while benchmark coverage fills in.
