GPT-5-Codex

openai·openai/gpt-5-codex·GA·Closed·gpt-codex series
Coding-optimized GPT model for repository edits, reviews, and agentic software work

GPT-5-Codex by openai is offered by 10 providers on this page. Its reference price is $1.25 per 1M input tokens and $10.00 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is OpenCode Zen at $1.07 / $8.50 per 1M, about 1.2× below the reference price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.

Artificial Analysis rates it 24.9 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $2.93 per 1M, that is roughly 9 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on.

The context window is 400,000 tokens, with an output limit of 128,000 tokens. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text, Image, and PDF. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2024-09-30.
