GPT-5.3 Codex

by OpenAI

Released 56 days after GPT-5.2 · All OpenAI releases

GPT-5.3 Codex is OpenAI's most advanced agentic coding model, trained with reinforcement learning on real-world software engineering tasks. It reaches state-of-the-art performance on SWE-Bench Pro and far exceeds prior results on Terminal-Bench 2.0, both rigorous evaluations of production software engineering, while using fewer output tokens than any prior OpenAI model. The model pairs frontier coding performance with general reasoning to support long-horizon technical work across the software lifecycle, including debugging, deployment, monitoring, documentation, tests, and metrics. It reliably completes complex tasks such as large refactors, code migrations, and feature implementations without losing context. With a 272k token context window, GPT-5.3 Codex excels at writing, reading, and modifying code across large projects. It supports structured output and tool use for integration with development workflows and automation systems.
