GPT-5.1-Codex vs Trinity-Large-Thinking

Updated August 10, 2026. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty. They are not guarantees for a specific workload.

GPT-5.1-Codex

OpenAI

51.8/100

Estimated · Public rank #106

90% interval 40.3–63.3

Trinity-Large-Thinking

Supported · Public rank #135

90% interval 30.8–64.1

GPT-5.1-Codex has the higher public score estimate, 51.79 versus 47.46, but the 90% score intervals overlap. Treat that as a lead, not a settled winner.

1 results are shared. Category rows based on different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.

Which one for your work

Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

Shape of the matched evidence

Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.

A shared-evidence shape is not available.

BenchLM does not draw a radar or infer missing axes when the matched evidence is too sparse.

What each workload costs

Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better, GPT-5.1-Codex or Trinity-Large-Thinking?

GPT-5.1-Codex has the higher public score estimate, 51.79 versus 47.46, but the 90% score intervals overlap. The higher estimate is not a decisive winner because the uncertainty ranges overlap.

Which is better for coding, GPT-5.1-Codex or Trinity-Large-Thinking?

The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted coding basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a coding winner.

Which is better for agentic tasks, GPT-5.1-Codex or Trinity-Large-Thinking?

The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted agentic tasks basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a agentic tasks winner.

Which costs less, GPT-5.1-Codex or Trinity-Large-Thinking?

Both models do not have comparable published API token rates, so this page does not name a universal price winner.

Which has the larger context window, GPT-5.1-Codex or Trinity-Large-Thinking?

Trinity-Large-Thinking has the larger documented context window: 512K, compared with 400K.
