GPT-5.1-Codex-Max Released
OpenAI releases GPT-5.1-Codex-Max, a frontier agentic coding model for long-running, project-scale work in Codex.
- GPT-5.1-Codex-Max was released on November 19, 2025 as OpenAI's new frontier agentic coding model, available that day in Codex (CLI, IDE extension, cloud, code review) with API access coming soon[1][3]
- Available on Plus, Pro, Business, Edu and Enterprise plans, replacing GPT-5.1-Codex as the Codex default[3]
Notable features
- It is the first model trained natively to work across multiple context windows via compaction, over millions of tokens, with internal tasks running more than 24 hours, and the first trained to operate in Windows environments[3]
- On SWE-bench Verified at medium effort it beats GPT-5.1-Codex using 30% fewer thinking tokens; a new Extra High ('xhigh') effort was added[3]
- Evals (GPT-5.1-Codex high vs Max xhigh): SWE-bench Verified 73.7% vs 77.9%, Terminal-Bench 2.0 52.8% vs 58.1%[3]
- In the API it is available only through the Responses API, taking text and image input, with a 400,000-token context window, up to 128,000 output tokens, a September 30, 2024 knowledge cutoff and pricing of $1.25 per million input and $10 per million output tokens[2]
- Safety: below High cybersecurity capability under the Preparedness Framework but the most capable cyber model deployed to date; Codex sandbox on by default with network off[3]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
