GPT-5.1-Codex-Max
GPT-5.1-Codex-Max
GPT-5.1-Codex-Max is the high-capability variant of the GPT-5.1-Codex series designed specifically for software engineering and agentic code workflows. It builds on the base GPT-5.1 architecture with a focus on long-horizon tasks such as full project generation, large-scale refactoring, and autonomous multi-step bug and test management. It introduces adaptive reasoning, meaning the system dynamically allocates more compute for complex problems and less for simpler ones, to improve efficiency and output quality. It also supports tool use (IDE-integrated workflows, version control, CI/CD pipelines) and offers higher fidelity in code review, debugging, and agentic behavior than general-purpose models. Alongside Max, there are lighter variants such as Codex-Mini for cost-sensitive or scale use-cases. The GPT-5.1-Codex family is available in developer previews, including via integrations like GitHub Copilot.
