What it costs to get this score

Published API price against the public score. The x-axis uses a log scale; the dashed path marks models that are not beaten by a cheaper, higher-scoring option. Price uses average of published input and output rates.

How to read this profile

The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.

GPT-5.1-Codex ranks #123 of 232 on the public leaderboard with a score of 51.62/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for a verified position.

GPT-5.1-Codex is a proprietary model with a 400K context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.

Tracked from Vals.ai Vibe Code Bench v1.1 exact leaderboard data. Kept unranked until broader benchmark coverage is available.

3 of 422 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Agentic at #54, while its lowest eligible position is Coding at #89. particularly useful for coding agents, browser research, and computer-use workflows.

Frequently asked questions

How does GPT-5.1-Codex perform overall in AI benchmarks?

GPT-5.1-Codex ranks #123 out of 232 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 51.62/100. Its evidence status is Estimated, and this profile shows 3 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is GPT-5.1-Codex good for coding and programming?

GPT-5.1-Codex ranks #89 out of 183 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 47.4/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is GPT-5.1-Codex good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

GPT-5.1-Codex ranks #54 out of 151 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 51.4/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Does GPT-5.1-Codex have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. GPT-5.1-Codex currently has 16 source-displayable rows across 422 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of GPT-5.1-Codex?

GPT-5.1-Codex has a documented context window of 400K. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
