GPT-5.1 Codex Mini

by OpenAI

Released 51 days after GPT-5 Codex · All OpenAI releases

GPT-5.1 Codex Mini is a faster, more cost-efficient Codex variant that keeps the 272,000-token context window while favoring quick responses for interactive development. It handles code generation and analysis across tasks from single-function edits to multi-file refactoring. The variant fits development environments, continuous integration pipelines, and real-time code assistance where response speed matters and the model still needs to work with large codebases.
