Questions people ask
Is gpt-5 better than gpt-5.1?
gpt-5.1 outperforms gpt-5 on 6 of 10 shared benchmarks. See the benchmark comparison above for specifics — gpt-5 and gpt-5.1 have different strengths across reasoning, coding, math and multimodal tasks.
Which is cheaper — gpt-5 or gpt-5.1?
gpt-5 and gpt-5.1 have identical combined pricing.
Can I use gpt-5 and gpt-5.1 through the same API?
Yes. Requesty provides a single OpenAI-compatible API that routes to both. Change just the "model" parameter to switch — "openai/gpt-5" or "openai/gpt-5.1" — no other code changes needed.
What are the context windows?
gpt-5 supports up to 400K tokens of context. gpt-5.1 supports up to 400K tokens. Longer context means you can feed larger documents or codebases in a single prompt, though quality often degrades past 128K for most models.
