GPT-5.1 is a family of five large language models within OpenAI's GPT series. Three were released on November 12, 2025;[1] two more were released one week later on November 19.

Features

[edit]

GPT-5.1 adds customizable personalities, with 8 personality options.[2][3] OpenAI describes it as having a "warmer personality" by default compared to GPT-5.[1]

GPT-5.1 is available to all users, though paid Pro, Plus, Go, and Business users were given advanced access.[4]

Models

[edit]

The model consists of two modes: GPT-5.1 Instant and GPT-5.1 Thinking, the latter being a reasoning model designed for more complex tasks.[5] GPT-5.1-Codex-Mini was released on the same day as a cost-effective alternative for coding and agentic tasks.

On November 19, 2025, OpenAI released GPT‑5.1-Codex-Max, an agentic coding model.[6] GPT-5.1 Pro was also released on the same day, replacing GPT-5 Pro.[7]

Reception

[edit]

Critical reviews

[edit]

Amanda Caswell from Tom's Guide praised GPT-5.1 for its mathematical reasoning and coding abilities, but decided that Gemini 3 produced better results overall.[8]

Writing for TechRadar, Eric Hal Schwartz compared GPT-5.1 to GPT-5 and found the new model to be more consistent in following prompts. He also considered it an "incremental improvement".[9]
