GPT-5.1-Codex ranks #99 out of 200 models on the public leaderboard with an overall score of 52.72/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for BenchLM's verified leaderboard. While not a frontier model, it offers specific advantages depending on the use case.
GPT-5.1-Codex is a proprietary model with a 400K token context window. It uses explicit chain-of-thought reasoning, which typically improves performance on math and complex reasoning tasks at the cost of higher latency and token usage.
This profile currently has 16 of 323 tracked benchmarks. BenchLM only exposes non-generated benchmark rows publicly, so missing categories stay blank until a sourced evaluation is available.
Its strongest category is Agentic (#44), while its weakest is Coding (#72). This performance profile makes it particularly useful for coding agents, browser research, and computer-use workflows.
Peer position
Exact provisional scores and ranks for the closest listed peers. A score can appear before a model clears the evidence threshold for a rank, so equal scores can have different rank states.
